Sure, I'm fine with letting them track down the deadbeat Chads they let raw dog them if they want to grift. At least then the men who benefit from this fucked up SMP are the ones bearing the cost. But we shouldn't pretend that child support has anything to do with the child. The courts don't give a fuck how it's spent, so it's just a no strings attached paycheck for mother. As it happens women usually don't extort their alpha baby daddies because they desperately want to get (back) together with them. It's the betas that they target, because getting the meal ticket without having to tolerate the beta's existence is the goal from the get go. Bonus points if she tricks the beta into paying for the alpha's kids, which is why they hate paternity tests to begin with.
The child in question should get child support from their true parents, both of them.
