And he better win. He never signed on to be a father, the lesbian couple has told the state they don't want him or need him, and yet the administration is still forcing him into this.

I will be super pissed if he loses. I'm aware of issues with women's rights... But men's rights issues need attention too.

I literally just wrote to Bernie Sanders like a week ago about exactly this kind of thing(among many other men's rights issues that need national attention and change). I doubt he will ever see it but we need to talk to the press, our peers over social media and IRL, and our government representatives about these issues.

If we don't show that these are problems that we care about and that need to change, how is anything going to get any better?

I think this is more a citizens rights issue rather than women's/men's. Both parties have said that they don't want this, so neither wants to go to court - yet the administration is forcing the issue:

“Angie at one point called the department of child services and said, ‘You shouldn’t be asking this guy for child support. I’m the other parent,’ and they literally truly told her, this is none of your business, go away,” Marotta said.

But even if he wins the war he will lose out in fees. I hate lawyers. They know their value.

His war is for legal precedence and morals. He's already shelled out way more for legal fees than it would have cost to roll over, and that's why I applaud his dedication.

Even if they threatened jail, I wouldn't pay. I'd just walk into the court room with both middle fingers raised.

Hopefully the lesbian couple is cool and if the guy does end up being forced to pay, they just send him the money back as a gift or something.

When some just absolutely need to be shot in the head in order to go away.

You should consult a lawyer before making potentially life changing actions.
