He counter sued, won full custody of HIS child and told her to beat it.
I like a good ending.

If you get paid a weekly salary the state knows what you make that way -- they have access to your tax info and bank info without needing a court order.
But otherwise they will go by what the woman put on the form.
Letting them get a default is the stupidest thing you will ever do, after fathering a child you don't want.
My husband's child support case is also in Texas and his ex tried this same crap. The attorney generals office will not take proof of payment, it must be presented in court.
This was less than 2 years ago, I doubt things have changed since then.
Look at the original article that started this thread. The courts mailed a copy of the order to an address the person never lived at then gave personal service to a "Jane Doe" saying it was his sister. He doesn't have a sister.
California got slammed under RICO for doing this over and over and over again. Many men never responded because the only notification they received was a garnishment on their paychecks.
Now, a guy who is served but doesn't bother to show up is one thing, someone who the state can not prove was ever served, that's totally different.
You're both disgusting, but obviously made for each other.
Anything she spends over and above what she would spend on herself if she didn't have kids is considered "child support."
Like, does she live in a place with two bedrooms instead of one? Drive a four door car instead of a two-seater?
I've never sat down to calculate what I've spent over the years on my own kids but we live in a four bedroom house instead of a one bedroom apartment, I drive a minivan instead of a two-door coupe. Not to mention food, clothing, groceries, utilities, health insurance, books, toys, games, movies, school lunches, school supplies, food and health care for their dog, etc., etc., etc. Just the shoes alone!
Don't you have visitation? What does it cost when they visit you?
Look, the law gives you the right to go to court and say "I never lived there, I don't even have a sister."
The judgment can be voided but you have to actually get off your rear end and do something.
If you don't bother -- well, what is wrong with you?
How could they "illegally" garnish his wages for a whopping 1000 a month? I assume he is making mucho dineros then? Isn't there some kind of DNA testing that is 100% foolproof?
did you bother to read the case>?!?!?! He did that, he proved he wasn't the father via paternity tests, he proved he hadn't been served the State of California said oh well, YOU PAY...
This went to Fed court and it took the Feds to stop California from doing this...
Why is it even in the AG's office? It should have been taken care of at the agency level.
The agency will take proof that the payments have been made.

Sorry, but I don't accept the facts as related by a non-lawyer.
Reason being, I've been practicing family law for almost 20 years.
I hear all kinds of stories but 9 times out of 10 (99 times out of 100, really) the people telling the stories don't understand what happened.
What was your income from last year?
How much can we expect from you?
How long will you continue to make payments?
I doubt very much he was able to make her "beat it."
It's really very simple.
If you keep your pants zipped, you won't ever have to pay child support.
Oh but the story gets better. She got busted for drugs before AND after all this happened. So yes he was able to tell her to beat it.
Hey, not only did I not get any child support (he was supposed to pay $30 a week for 2 children ($15 ea for the mathematically challenged) but I got to make the car payments and he got the car. On the other hand my wonderful, responsible husband that I found the second time around got to pay alimony and child support in such gracious amounts that my working full time did not keep up with the outgo to his ex-wife and children. But it was worth it for both of us, at least we found each other and we have been the responsible one's in all our children's lives.
The only way to completely deny visitation is to have parental rights terminated.
But it's possible to make the interactions so painful that the non-custodial parent would rather not exercise visitation rights.
Nothing to be proud of, except in Jerry Springer Land.
And what truth would you be referring to?
That sounds familiar. I hope someone who was wrongly convicted doesn't draw that judge. The judge would tell him well, since you've already served 11 years, you might as well serve another 12 years.
