I always feel so badly for the children in these situations. He's got a mother who was so reckless she doesn't know who the father is (or is a flat out liar). A biological father who may never know, or even want to know, his own child. And some guy who had no problem sleeping around with a woman of questionable character, and then gets duped into paying for 18 years.
The poor kid just wants a normal loving family and all of these selfish fools are at fault for the child not having that.
Any way you look at it it is the child who gets hurt the most.

We need a supreme court ruling to state these types of laws are unconstitutional, as they violate the prohibition of involuntary servitude.

It's not such a bad thing to raise someone else's kid.
I did. But, then again, I knew it in advance.

Right, so a guy who later finds DNA evidence that he didn't commit the rape for which he's been convicted shouldn't be allowed to enter that evidence later because it's too late and he should have brought it up at the time he was charged.

Are you intentionally making a legal argument instead of a moral one or do you honestly believe if it's legal then it's OK to stiff the guy?

Wonder if WJClinton love child was ever tested. What ever came of that case
To: k2blader
Blame the folks who sleep around with people they aren't committed to and bring this kind of trouble first on their own children, then on themselves.You should be ashamed of yourself for this response.

In that case "It sucks to be him".
Not right but thats the result of Equal Rights for Women ( rolling eyes ).

I seen this happen right in front of me in court the guy had all the tests done after almost 2 years of paying support something led to suspicion that the kid wasn't his so he had the tests done turns out the kid wasn't his !
After making his case the Judge told him he had to continue paying support as the child would not benefit from him NOT paying
I thought the guy was gonna pass out he turned ghost white and shook his head in disbelief as did i.
He wasn't very happy in the hallway after court either he said he was gonna sue the judge i don't know what ever became of anything after that But i've talked to several people who have been in the very same situation with almost the same results
In ohio if the mother cant identify the father she dont get no help they foce her to point the finger which in a way is good because fathers shopuld pay in my opinion but with DNA now being as good as it is she can't just point at anyone shes gotta know supposedly !

Of course they keep things like this secret. The nazi child support racket wouldn't have it any other way.

In other words, they do not contest paternity. 13 years is a wee bit late to start doing so. IMHO, if there's going to be a one-year statute of limitations, the effect of such limits should be upon payments made and not future payments.
In other words, if you wait 13 years without good cause for having done so, you forfeit 12 past years' worth of child-support payments. You shouldn't have to forfeit the other six.
