FB sr is at fault for the privations of his child and is an unfit
parent (and his child arguably ought to be up for adoption if the
privation is too bad, as it is not JUST that the child suffer for
the fault of the father).

I agree with most of that, including that it is not just that the child
suffer for the fault of the father. But I could imagine some other ways of
ensuring that he doesn't, besides allowing adoption. Isn't there quite
possibly a mother who loves her child, and vice versa? Would it be just to
divorce these two? Wouldn't it be a lot more just to offer some money if
that is what is required for a decent (not luxury!) life without the money
the father has earned before? Do you really think it cuts your freedom so
badly if you have to pay your share of that?

I know, this gets into the freedom debate again, but I sure hope this is
acceptable to you, because my questions certainly are NOT open ended ... ;-)

Greetings

Horst
