I've been lucky and never had to go through this; My wife and I have one child, now 13, and my wife still puts up with my shit.
But I saw a lot of my friends go through this and it was fucking nasty. On one hand I saw friends have to pay for the privilege of not being able to see and raise their children, and then I dated chicks who got a extra paycheck every month and all they had to do was let the baby daddy see their kid for a few hours every other weekend.
This was horrible, and a huge miscarriage of justice - and the kids just get caught in the middle.
Deadbeat dads aren't deadbeats at all - Would you want to be a father if you had to pay one third of your income to someone who hates you, have no say on how your child is raised, and only being able to see your kids twice a month? I wouldn't want to be a part of that either.
Kids need fathers, period.
