Maleficent, perhaps the father (before birth) said that he did not want the child, a father should have as much right to an abortion as a mother.
However given that our society will not allow the father the choice of removing the foetus (as a mother can) he should have the right to not have the child (essentially to him the child is dead and so does not recieve payment). Similarly a woman can have an abortion even if the father wishes the child, the law should allow the father some right in the choice as to whether or not to have the child (accidents do happen).
The father did not wish the child, the mother did surely this should have an agreeable outcome for both parents (I know in the UK Child Payments come off the top of your wages... so you are left with whatever you can earn, the payment comes before your own well being or ability to survive... and then they complain if you can't make it).
Sorry for the off topic. Hope you get this resolved, could be bad if they actually try and get you for those back payments....
