Man Has 30 Kids - Pays $1.50 In Child Support Which He Says Is Too Much

This is probably one of my favorite stories in the past few months. It absolutely blows my mind and can't believe this has not been aired as some very special Jerry Springer. There is a man in Tennessee who has fathered 30 children. The man is 33 years old. He has fathered children with 11 different women so many of these women have decided the guy, who makes minimum wage is some kind of catch and are willing to make more babies with him. His oldest child is 14. In two separate years he fathered four children. This means he has fathered 29 children in 13 years. So, approximately two babies a year since then. In 2009 he was hauled into court because he had not been paying child support. He told the judge he was finished having babies at that time. Since that 2009 court appearance he has fathered 9 more children. So, he is upping his productivity. He currently pays child support that is as low as $1.49 a month. Yes, you read that right. Guess who pays to take care of the rest. The state of course. Well, even though he is only paying $1.49 to some of the women, Desmond Hatchett is asking the court to lower his child support payments because he can't afford to live. The state takes half his paycheck and divides it out. Here is what I suggest. He go get himself a vasectomy and another job. He only works one job so that way he will have time to make more babies. If I am the judge I tell him to find a way to live on a half a paycheck because even though the state can't order him to stop having kids, they sure can try to make sure he pays as much as possible and not let him off the hook.
