The trouble is, they haul you off to prison if you don’t either pay or disappear. You can be living happily with your own wife and child, or with an elderly parent you’re caring for, and along comes a court giving you a choice of going to prison or disappearing if you don’t start forking over money to your ex-wife’s child by some other guy.
Pretty sure two of my posts clearly stated my actions if in a similiar situation. I’d go to jail, or disappear first.
I’d never, EVER, give up a single dime for support of a child I’m not the father of. Period. The court can say whatever it likes.
No joke. As is no secret to those pinged to this list, some crack whore grifter listed me as the father of her kid because she saw my picture in the paper. All was well and good until she applied for welfare -— and the State of Texas looked for daddy for child support.
NEVER SAW HER IN MY LIFE.
Got served for back payment, Mrs. MWT was PISSED.
DNA proved me out, but it cost many thousands of dollars in court costs, ample public embarassment.
My lawyer finally got the witch to crack in deposition -— she described me as average height and non-circumcised -— after which I walked in -— I’m a few inches shy of 7 feet tall and Jewish.
All that got resolved, but I’m still the father according to the “Certificate of Live Birth” -— indeed, got a letter asking why “my” kid was not in school the other day and warning me of truancy punishment. (Yes, lawyer sent certified court records.)
