MD - There is no judge involved... It is a case worker, or in Pa... they are called a "Master" ... They do not care about anything other than paternity and how much they will order the man to pay. Period.

There is no mechanism to ensure that even one penny goes to the child. The "EXCUSE" that the laws are there to protect the children is pure bullshit. If the mother wants to spend money on drugs, cigarettes, clothes, or on anything else she pleases, the State could not care less.
