But Lamar Salley is a con artist. He was the one who initiated divorce proceedings while the baby was in utero. He was in this relationship to get money from Sherri. She just fumbled the ball when it was passed to her. Hence her ex getting a substantial amount of money for a child she really didn't want.

Lamar isn't the one who initiated divorce proceedings, it was Sherri. According to Lamar, she's the one who wanted to split and I haven't heard her refute that. They both filed legal paperwork at roughly the same time - Lamar filed for legal separation and custody on a Friday, Sherri filed for divorce on the following Monday. And to continue the gender-flipped comparison, there are a lot of famous men who said they were "tricked" (the woman poked holes in the condom, she lied about being on birth control, etc) and that makes no difference. If you create a child, you are responsible for the child whether you want it or not. Sherri spent a long time and whole lot of money ($330,000) to bring that child into the world. For her to say she never wanted it cannot be anything other than disingenuous. Did she stop wanting it? Clearly. But a baby can't be returned.

When it comes to money, I don't think you can flip genders because men make more than women...still. The issue with child support is just that, support for the CHILD. What happens is a lot of people, male and female golddiggers, take that cash and use it for themselves. I think I read once that Bobby Darin put his money in some kind of trust where his son couldn't inherit until he was thirty because he didn't want his ex wife, Sandra Dee to get her hands on it.

I'm not saying that Sherri is a saint and that she didn't do anything wrong. Thing is, she was so blinded by wanting a husband that she didn't do her due diligence in safeguarding her finances from a thief. That's pretty much the only thing I can blame her for in this mess and hopefully she has learned to better protect herself and Jeffrey.

But safeguard against what? She wanted to create a life, and then changed her mind months after that was put into action. Those kinds of actions have financial consequences. This isn't an oopsy baby conceived from a one-night stand or some casual fling (you're still on the hook for that, too).
I get not wanting that dude to get the money, but if he's the only person who is going to be parenting this kid, and she wants nothing to do with the baby, then yeah, I get why he needs to have access to child support. Locking money away for 30 years isn't going to work in this case (and she doesn't want to do that any way, she doesn't want anything to do with the baby).

Since child support and custody can't be determined by pre-nup, the only thing she could have done to safeguard her finances was to not have a child at all.
It was a series of bad decisions that got her to where she is, but that's not unique. Tons of people marry losers, tons of people have children with people they wish they hadn't. The only difference is that Sherri thought she could wriggle out of the consequences of her bad decisions in a way that most people can't.

Not sure if the world is flat or round? Maybe big decisions like marriage or deciding to bring children into the world are not for you.

What a good Christian!*eye roll* Maybe she figures since she didn't actually carry and give birth to the baby, her maternity status doesn't count. Again, I wonder whether the smartest thing would be to offer Lamar a settlement so she can assume full custody, get him to sign away his parental rights, and then put the baby up for adoption. Be public about the fact that she wants to be involved in screening of potential adoptive parents and she wants to see the baby go to a loving home (which is the most important thing).
