I'd be fine with that if the wording didn't imply that the father is the
only parent who is financially responsible for the child, and/or if Mom
also had some document she were required to sign in order to get her name
on the birth certificate


Think about this one - there's no question who the mother is, because the
child came out of her body, in front of all those witnesses. Therefore,
there is no necessity for her to acknowledge maternity - it's quite obvious
she is the mother.

It's the came concept as in Judaism - if the mother is Jewish the child is
considered to be Jewish - because you always know who the mother is.

Oh, I just recognized the handle. That explains a lot.

Moon, you aren't paying attention. I'm not upset that Mom doesn't have
to claim maternity. Obviously that would be silly.

Go back and read again. It's the implications on the "voluntary"
affidavit of paternity that upset me -- the implications that Dad is the
ONLY one financially responsible for the child.

I suppose that might seem paranoid to you -- and I would have thought
so, too, before I had my dealings with CSE and the Family Court System.
Their manner of dealing with fathers breeds paranoia. That's a
consequence of their attitudes and actions that we will ALL have to deal
with until some changes are made.
