End men’s financial responsibilities in cases of deceptive conception

Petition Details

We wish for men to be allowed to relinquish themselves of all responsibility arising from imposed paternity.

Additional Information

At this time, men are deemed responsible for the financial contribution of a child regardless of whether or not they consented to the child been conceived. Having experienced, first hand, the impact that forced fatherhood/imposed paternity has on men across the nation, I think something needs to change. If a woman lies about her inability to conceive a child to become pregnant, the father has no legal rights but to pay support even if they have proof that the mother has lied.
