Imagine the kid, the kid's feelings ... mum's looking for your hooker of a dad - How do you want that man to relate to the kid and the kid to him ?

I guess they could create a precedent in NOT allowing the mother to get the guy to pay up ... I think the most important is the child, in this case, and a child needs a stable family. A kid needs a stable family more than extra moneys ...
