I doubt you know any polygamous fathers or have any dealings with them…

By pure coincidence, you’ve actually guessed right. I don’t have any direct interaction with them. However, the well-documented histories of many polygamous fathers who provide for their wives and children are many.

… since to do so would put your membership at risk.

No it wouldn’t.

I am very surprised that you would support a position that is opposite of what the church puts forth.

My position is not the opposite of what the Church puts forth. The Church teaches that we should not practice polygamy, not that it should be illegal. I agree that we should not practice it. I also think we shouldn’t skip Sunday School. I don’t believe people should be imprisoned for doing either.

The mere you support [sic] polygamy in an open forum puts your memebrship at risk.

No, it doesn’t.

Even the book of mormon [sic] teaches the evil of this practice.

More accurately, the Book of Mormon teaches us that we should not engage in this practice unless the Lord commands us to do so. (See, in particular, Jacob 2:30)

Perhaps if it were restricted to people over the age of majority with a requirement of blood tests for all parties.

The main problems for me are the isolation, intimidation and coercion in the polygamy that is currently practised, not to mention involvement of minors.

Could you support another family?

Most men cannot and for men who pay child support and have a new family, they have a hard road to ahead.

Do the men support their children or is it the women supporting their children?

Think of the tax deducions you could get for each kid.

Pre-nuptial agreements should be able to accomplish these goals.

In the case of a woman married to two or more men, there is the added complication of uncertainty as to parentage; that would take some careful ironing-out before any additional marriage took place. You’d need to provide for how each husband would provide and care for his own offspring. However, it’s certainly not more complicated than the hodgepodge of nonmarital parenting that is becoming mainstream in Western societies.
