The State of Michigan is ordering a Detroit man to pay tens of thousands of dollars, or go to prison. The reason? He owes back child support for a child that everyone agrees is not his.

"I feel like I’m standing in front of a brick wall with nowhere to go," said Carnell Alexander.

He says he learned about the paternity case against him during a traffic stop in Detroit in the early 90s. The officer told him he is a deadbeat dad, there was a warrant out for his arrest.

“I knew I didn’t have a child, so I was kind of blown back,” said Alexander.

The state said he fathered a child in 1987, and ignored a court order to pay up. It was the first Carnell had heard of the court order. He'd never even met the child.

“And when you were telling them in court – that it was not my child?" "They told me it was too late to get a DNA test," said Alexander.

It also was not easy to get a DNA test. Alexander didn't know where the woman was that had claimed he fathered a child. He only had an 8th-grade education, off-and-on employment at the time, and no money to hire help....

Doesn't help. If your wife cheats and gets knocked up, you are still considered the child's legal father. There have been a couple of those cases i’ve seen on here.

That’s because MI wants to show record numbers for both child support and catching up back cases. I don’t know if they still do it, but they used to post a list of deadbeat dads in every sunday paper.

The guy owes nothing but he got a Liberal judge who didn't care about truth. It was about process and who cares if the people involved in the process were liars. . . and even if it were provably so that they were. Too bad. Pay up.

Rule 308 is the only way to remedy this.

Not only should they Prosecute the process server, I would bet he has a 100% of recovering DAMAGES from said Process server. SUE the prick also, take everything he owns.

If the process server did it once, did he do it in other cases? My guess is yes. Who else was victimized by this process server?
