Frequently the child is left out in the discussion of parental support.
I think every child is entitled to the financial support of two parents.
Regardless of how you contributed to the end result, a baby, you should be held accountable for the financial support of that child.
All children have the same needs and should be entitled to the support of both parents regardless of the "desire" of a parent to contribute or not contribute.
If you contribute sperm, you need to then contribute $$$.
If another person takes over your part of the equation, lucky you. Otherwise be responsible.
