History original Concept. Originally penned in 2014.
Proposed Bill: The Jaden Law
Purpose: To give men the right to choose fatherhood through a “Pre-Birth Paternity Agreement” and to provide a fair and equal system for child support and custody.
Details:
- A “Pre-Birth Paternity Agreement” would be offered to men with three months (up to abortion time frames) to sign a form stating that they are agreeing to the pregnancy and would pay child support and have joint custody in case of separation.
- If a man doesn’t sign the agreement, he loses all rights to the child but is also relieved of financial responsibility.
- The mother would be ineligible for any financial assistance if she doesn’t notify the man within the allowable time frame.
- A court can review and determine the fitness of a parent for joint custody if necessary.
- A national average of the true monthly cost of child care would be established to ensure fairness across all tax brackets.
- Child support from a previous relationship should not be used to support another child or personal expenses.
- The proposed law aims to reduce frivolous and irresponsible sex resulting in unwanted pregnancies and to avoid the exploitation of the system for child support.
Background: The idea for this law stems from the personal experience of the bill’s proposer, who was unable to see his son for 12 years despite court-ordered visitation and was still pursued for child support. The proposer believes that if both men and women have equal rights to choose fatherhood, there would be less conflicts and court battles over child support and custody.

Jaden Law Concept
The Jaden Law is a proposed bill that aims to give men the right to choose fatherhood. The bill suggests the creation of a “Pre-Birth Paternity Agreement” that allows a man to sign a form in advance, agreeing to the pregnancy and committing to voluntary child support. Automatic joint custody is agreed upon before the child is even born, and the man has access to the child at all times. If the man chooses not to sign the agreement, he forfeits all rights to the child, including the last name, but he also does not have any financial responsibility.
The bill also proposes a national average for the monthly cost of child care, regardless of tax bracket. It aims to prevent the exploitation of child support payments by prohibiting the use of the money for anything other than the care of the child in question. The Jaden Law also seeks to reduce court battles over child support and custody by ensuring that these matters are determined before the child is born.
The inspiration for this law comes from the personal experience of its proposer, who was denied access to his son for 12 years despite court-ordered visitation. The proposer believes that if both men and women have equal rights to choose fatherhood, there would be less conflict and fewer court battles. The Jaden Law seeks to ensure that men who step up as fathers are recognized and given respect by the court systems of America.
ORIGIN
I believe a “Pre-Birth Paternity Agreement” bill should be passed that also gives men a right to choose fatherhood. If a man chooses to agree to a pregnancy then he would have three months (up to abortion time frames) to sign a form that states in advance that he is agreeing to the pregnancy, and in the event that he and the mother were to ever separate, he will voluntarily pay child support; no fight but also ALWAYS have access to the child. Automatic joint custody is agreed upon before the child is even born.
If the man doesn’t sign “Pre-Birth Paternity Agreement” , he loses all rights to the child including the last name, but this also excludes him from having financial responsibility. If he does sign it, his child should never be held from him. and if she does not notify the man with the allowable time frame, she will be ineligible for any financial assistance. Now, if there is a circumstance where one of the parents aren’t fit to have their half of joint custody honored then that can be reviewed and determined by a court. But many men and women use children as pawns to hurt the other parent by not allowing that child to see their other parent.
There also should be a national average of true monthly cost of child care that should be the same across the board no matter tax bracket. It doesn’t take 20k a month to support a child. Lies. For that amount, the mom should just give the child to their father because with that amount (He’s is obviously more capable of providing stable support). At 20k a month he’s not just paying for his child in that house, but he’s also supporting every person in that other household.
If a woman or man has a child from a previous relationship whom they receive child support for; that money should not pay for a second or third child that isn’t his, that money shouldn’t be used to pay for mom to get her hair or nails done, etc. As a father myself, I couldn’t let another man’s child support payment take care of or feed MY child; they’re my kid, my responsibility.
This is another way to avoid the exploitation of the system to vicariously force a man to support her and her other children (Sometimes even support her new significant other). As of now this is allowable, acceptable, and promoted all because she had one of his children. I believe that if women understood that men equally have a right to choose, then there would be a lot less frivolous and irresponsible sex resulting in many unwanted pregnancies (by women and/or men); Taxpayers wouldn’t have to foot the bill for years of court dates to determine who the father is, who will pay child support and who will get custody, who will provide health insurance; all of this would have already been determined before the child is born.
The reason why I thought about this law was that of My son’s mother 13 years ago, on April 21, 2002, had my beautiful little boy; a pregnancy/child that was not wanted by the mother but I begged her not to abort/kill my son. She agreed but after a horrible fallout between his mother and I, she made it completely impossible for me to see my son for the following 12 years (Even though there was court ordered visitation, which she repeatedly disobeyed and even with police reports to prove my claims the court allowed her to keep my son away from me.) Yet she still hunted me down for child support. She didn’t even want the baby, she just wanted a check, she could have just given him to me, I was willing to pay and raise him. But instead, I felt that I had to pay ransom for a son I could never see. She used him as a way to get approx. $700 a month. I just recently connected with my son, he’s 13 now, and he has no idea who I am. I can not explain to you how bad it hurts the heart when you look at your own genetics and they look at you like a stranger. He was even led to believe for many years that her new boyfriend was his father.
She would have never let me connect with him, but you know how it was possible? Because I knew you can’t keep a child off of the internet forever and because of this I made sure that if he ever did a search for his own name his sisters and I would pop up. He found me online and had he not found me, he would have still been lied to, to this very day. I’m sure it must have been really uncomfortable for his Mother and her boyfriend when 12 years later my son approached them and asked who I was. I wish I was there to take a picture of his mother’s face and reaction.
I ran out of money for lawyers a long time ago. I can’t retain a legal aid because I make too much money for a child being held from me, but I never see any of that money because I pay an incredibly high child support. This is unfair parental alienation (She’s programming my son to be estranged from knowing me, and have a negative opinion of me. Also, she’s exploiting a system geared toward a woman’s rights and entitlements). It’s time that men who step up to the plate as fathers are recognized and are given due respect by the court systems of America. My son is currently residing in Naples, Florida.
