The advice he's giving includes having kids but not getting married, if indeed you want kids. Hmm, problem I see w/ this is that having kids unmarried places the father in far greater danger of being jailed for not making C/S payments (for whatever reason) than if he's married to the mother. As long as mothers are overwhelmingly likely to have custody post-divorce, he's only the mother's decision to divorce him away from being in danger of "debtor's prison" if he can't make the payments and "mom" wants to play hardball. Besides, along with the mother being the default presumed "custodial parent" post-divorce, I have this totally radical question to ask: Why isn't an infant's father presumed to be the default rightful legal custodian parent post-birth, *even if the parents are not married or never were*? Woo, THAT'S radical a thought, isn't it? But I'll happily go along w/ the far-more equitable actual joint custody: he has the kids for 2 weeks/month, she likewise, until yhey're grown. This is assuming the parents aren't living together, of course.

Seems awfully complicated, risky, and expensive. Better idea I feel is just don't do it.
