How it works in theory and how it works in practice are two different things. There aren't a lot of Tico's paying Ch*ld support here. Mostly Duddly Do Right gringos that make it easy for the chica to find them and who pop right up and do what the chica says when she delivers the news. You've got to play the game hard like they do down here, otherwise you're just lambs for the slaughter.

D2864,

The law clearly gives (and is intended to give) precedence to the female's claim. It is up to the male to prove the claim false. If you took the time to read any of the info from the UN meetings on the subject, country by country, you would have already understood this. Common sense and fairness have precious little to do with law. The law is what is agreed upon and passed.

The registry will place the claimed father's name on the birth certificate unless there is denial and proof by dna. They ain't gonna leave that space blank until they get hold of you. You are welcome to choose not to believe that...your problem, not mine.

I lived in CR for several years and my soon to be wife is a practicing psychologist there who deals with these issues (family battles, etc.) all the time. She rarely sees a male (Tico) patient who is not paying Ch*ld support to somebody or a female (Tica) who is not receiving it from somebody.

Believe or not believe, your choice.

Just a question out of curiosity....
What happens if the claims of pregnancy came from a Nica, or a Colombiana, or a Panamanian, etc, etc,....? Is the situation handled the same way ? Or is the CR Government only concerned with the Tica's?

Third, I don't have exact stats so I won't comment on that. From the ticos I know, most of them don't pay what their mujeres initially asked for, they don't pay "pension" per se. But they do have some sort of arrangement so as to keep the colon and food coming and the wives/mujeres from calling on the police.

In the end , the father will have to deal with that issue and make deals one way or another , should he chooses to remain freely in CR. Or he can play the Disappear game, but for how long.. ?

MG,

As I understand it, it's part of the registration/birth certificate process with the national registry. I would imagine that it would apply to the birth of any Ch*ld to anybody who is requesting a birth certificate...but it's only a guess.

I really like that quote!

I believe you! It will not go blank. But (sorry man), if you've not been notified, you can't contest, because you don't even know you are the father so with regard to support, you won't be paying until at least someone has told you. Once told, even if a year or 10 years later, you should still have the right to refute the claim using DNA. There has to be some provisions in the law which pertains to false accusations and false identifications. Sure they can be resolved using DNA, but not until the father has been located and properly notified. It wouldn’t make sense, even in Costa Rica, for the identity to be engrained in concrete (that means forever) on just one person’s word (especially if she is a hooker). Imagine the case where the husband is named, but Tony the boyfriend steps forward 2 months later to claim the baby is his.

The law is the law and how it is administered is situational so final results will vary. Like Thirdworld said, "How it works in theory and how it works in practice are two different things." Case by case basis..... some difficult cases are out there that don't fit the mold so this is why there are courts, lawyers, judges, DNA and more available to resolve issues of law. Since this is a law, actions that are taken in accordance with the law can be challenged to be sure the actions were in accordance with the law.

Like someone said earlier - if you are named, and you are notified, get a lawyer.

Back to my earlier advice: don't give these crazy bitches your full name and contact info. And don't stay in a hotel where it can't be protected. And in the event you do get a call, "Run Forrest, run!!

D2864,

You asked for information. Now you have it. I'm done.

CRFan

Thanks CRFan... I'm done too.

It's interesting that most of the post suggest taking off and staying away from Costa Rica. Anyone for supporting you baby?

Seveal chicas I know whose Babi*s fathers own small businesses still don't recieve Ch*ld support. This Tica's ex owns two sodas and hardly ever send her money. And when he does it's like $60 for the month. Many Ticos seem to get away with not paying.

Again, why would all these chicas be working at HDR?

Costa Rian lawyers reply. "If you are not in Costa Rica it is very difficult for a chica to file a claim against you. Depending on what you want to do I would stay out of Costa Rica until you find out for sure she is pregnant. She may just being using this as a ploy to extort money from you. If you plan on coming back to Costa Rica call me first and I will make sure that I am at your side. Thank you for letting me serve you and attend to your needs. Keep in touch."

He said its vvveerrrrry difficult for her to take action against you if you are not in Costa Rica. Interesting...

If she is proven to be pregnant, and if it is proven to be yours, then you have a baby coming into this world... a baby that was born because of the irresponsible behavior of a mom and a dad.

Does that baby deserve any support? Is mom responsible? Is dad responsible?

Are you really willing to say, "F*ck the baby. I don't care"? The baby is not the person who was irresponsible. Is it all about just avoiding any negative consequences for you, dad?

What do Ticos do? Well, that's an interesting question, with more than one answer I'm sure.

The real question is what are you going to do. What kind of person are you?

I'm not trying to pass judgment, but I did want this discussion on this forum to include some consideration of your responsibility, if any.

This is why you never go bareback, unless you're fixed.

Tanager,
I respectfully agree with all of your comments, except the above. Getting fixed is not a "get out of jail free" card. Even after having a vasectomy, IMHO it would STILL be incredibly irresponsible to go bareback. But some may disagree.

Good points, Tanager. Let's not forget the bebe is the innocent here. Nothing wrong with doing the right thing. Two wrongs don't make a right.

And have a hooker in charge of my life for the next 18 years? No thanks. Call me irresponsible.

If the chica says she's fixed and she ends up lying, that is not my fault.

Some of you guys need to get off your moralistic high horses. We are f'n johns, they are f'n hookers. Love and Babi*s have nothing to do with mongering.

I am not looking for love.
I am not looking for a novia.
I am looking to get laid and have a good time.

The hooker is the professional and is responsible to see that she is unable to get pregnant. If the condom breaks, it is on her. If she decides she wants to go bareback, for whatever reason, it is on her. She and the guy always have a choice. When I pay money for sex it is under the assumption that this is a business transaction, her being the professional is responsible for our safety and responsible for her not getting pregnant. It's no more that renting a car and returning it with a full tank of gas. The car is on the rental company and the safe use and return is on me.

If she goes bareback by force that is rape and everything if on the guy.

Guess I am having "Officer and a Gentleman" flashbacks where some slut attempts to trap a decent guy into marriage. In the Costa Rica case it is money that she is trying to get. I think it is called embezzlement or fraud.

Now if she is a novia, a true novia, and no fee for the hour, then we are talking romance, then it is on the guy.

My hardline view is you and some chica are hot and heavy, she is on top, and decides to slip it in. The guy says hold on a minute, can you have K*ds, she states she is fixed or on the pill, so they hammer away, maybe the guy even cums in her. Three months later you receive an email from the chica that she is PG. This is the fraud I am talking about and what I take a hard line against. I will do everything I can to protect myself from this lying type of puta.

Some of you guys may not like my attitude, which is fine by me, however when 'playing' I provide the money and anything else that is agreed upon, and at the end of the day, I will not have lied to her about anything.
