If it is true that she claimed infertility and to be on birth control then no I don't think he should have to pay. Realistically he could have taken precautions but if he had can you imagine the fuss she probably would have made.

Should men be able to choose?
A 25-year-old Michigan computer programmer named Matthew Dubay sued in federal court to avoid paying child support for his 7-month-old daughter. The girl's mother, he alleges, had claimed to be both infertile and on birth control, and he had made it clear all along that he didn't want children. The resulting pregnancy, as he saw it, was simply not his fault, and the child not in any way his responsibility. I don't think he should have to pay unless he wants to but what's your opinion?

He ought to have seen that something was up when she claimed to be both infertile and using contraception, since you don't need the latter if you're the former.
Of course he should pay up - who else should? The taxpayer?

Being infertile and on birth control seems a bit strange to start with, maybe the alarm bells should have rang then.

As much as I feel sorry for him( alittle bit) I cannot understand how any man thinks he shouldn't pay for his child. Who does he think should? I think a man should take responsibility for birth control as much as a woman, if just for his own peace of mind. Better safe than sorry, and if not then he should accept the consequences.

The contraceptive pill would have worked a lot better if he'd got her to clamp it between her knees.

A child is not someone's "fault". Nor is the issue here faulty birth control. A person lives who needs the care, nurture and support of its parents.

If you are going to tango and you don't want any "consequences", you make sure you take care of contraception at your end. That child exists because of two people, not one. Therefore two people are responsible for it. The only way he could garantee not becoming a daddy was not to dance. Once he danced he took a risk.
Can you imagine the spate of children abandoned because fathers no longer want the responsibility of taking care of their off-spring?

Thanks for the offer... Think I'll pass
At the risk of major bad rep here lol.... what about the women who get pregnant to deliberately hold a man??? people can say it doesn't happen but of course it does I have heard stories of pins being pushed through condom wrappers etc. I know it is not the child's fault and it still deserves a loving upbringing but why should a man pay when he has been deliberately trapped?
