Re: child support
You do if you want any sort of social financial assistance; in return for the benefit of social welfare, you assign all of your rights about collecting support to the government. If you want the benefit of assistance from the taxpayers, you have the obligation to assist in lessening the burden of your support on the taxpayers. Further, the father is entitled to access should he wish it, completely independent of whether or not he pays child support. The child is only half yours; he has as much right as you.
