@ Sweet Serenity @ Genintoronto @Malibook....Yikes!! let me try to put this in perspective:
If you had a fling with a man, and got pregnant, and kept the child, he'd have to pay..
If you were an escort who saw a man 5 times and got pregnant...he'd still have to pay
Why would the legal system care about the circumstances under which the child was conceived? You think they have time to individualize the THOUSANDS of child support cases a yr and do you honestly think this argument would hold up in court?:
"Well you see your Honor, my escort was selling me a fantasy, I PAID for her NOT to get pregnant but SHE stupidly did anyway and kept the child even after I DEMANDED her to get an abortion, so therefore I'm off the hook right?"
If that convoluded logic held then ANY guy who knocked up ANY girl would be off the hook for child support if he DECIDED he didn't want to pay on the basis of not wanting it in the first place... Being an escort and being a civilian are no different in the legal system's eyes, bc when you take away the title, it just boils down to TWO adults deciding to have sex and a child was the result. Period.
FYI-SHE didn't knock herself up, it takes 2 to tango. You can't make the argument that bc she was an escort she was irresponsible & HAS to get an abortion, bc then it would be legally ok to FORCE ur gf/wife/whoever to get one too when the guy thinks she shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the beginning. As I stated in another post, no man or institution can govern a woman's body...that's how Canada works...So therefore when ANY woman decides to keep a child TWO ppl made, the father will pay support unless the courts decide otherwise.
You need to take away the words "fantasy" and "escort" bc it really has no bearing in the real world's 'Bigger Picture', regardless of what you are "selling him" and what your "job is". There is no such thing as "No strings attached" "Hassle free" sex in ANY aspect of life, including escorting even if you are 'paying' for it. You can't buy an insurance policy on sex bc it doesn't exist. The only 100% guarantee of not becoming a father is not having sex,sorry but it's true. You may view this as unfair but unfortunately, Biology and the Legal System say otherwise. I'm glad you practice responsible safe sex, more girls and guys should (Teen Mom anyone?),then we wouldn't have to be debating this, but until ppl start taking this more seriously and the Law starts looking @ each child support case on an individual basis, today this is the best way to ensure that any child born out of ANY circumstance receives the support they need....
