What gives you the right?

So, I want to know what you think gives you the right to be a parent? What makes you a father/mother or simply a biological component in a child's DNA makeup?
Last week I was notified that my ex-husbund and father of my daughter was fighting against Idaho Child Support Service's summons to modify his child support. Really? How can he disagree that he is making 3 times as much as what he was, and still pays next to nothing to support her? I try to understand how he is too busy for her, can abandon her by changing his name so that she has no family identity, how he can go for weeks without contacting her, and how in the world he is able to look himself in the mirror knowing that she love him and he neglects her constantly. But it is no use for me to wonder these things because I can not fathom going 24 hours without some kind of contact with her, or her going without a single thing that she needs or may want. I just cant begin to comprehend.

What is it that gives us the right to be a parent to a child?
