There is a way around this (her), Child Support
keeps records, but getting those records is another
question ? F.I.A. ?. If (IF?) he is paying child support
???. Is he using his real name ?...

Yes, we need to pray for Theresa.

LORD, help us...please...please...

All good questions. Judging by other information that has turned up, it doesn't look as if Michael is any stranger to "creative" bookkeeping and name-altering tricks. So yeah, there is certainly that possibility. And let's not forget that both he and Terri grew up in Pennsylvania and made regular visits there. Is it so far-fetched to think that Michael might have rekindled an old flame on one of those trips? Seems everybody that has searched records has done so in Florida.

Another possibility is that there are no records. There would only be records, necessarily, if there were a divorce or a paternity suit for the purpose of collecting child support. If he were paying support in cash, there wouldn't necessarily be any record of it. When my ex-husband and I were divorced, that is how he did it. The only record of it was that he would pay an amount that had been agreed upon by both of us. The payments never went through the courts.
