The $50k for breach of promise is ridiculous (IMO). But he should be paying child support until that kid is an adult.
If it were me, I’d make her, or her lawyer prove #1 that she is the biological mother of the child, and #2 that he is the biological father of said child (in that order).
I’ve seen way too many Maury shows to know you can’t take a woman’s word on anything of that nature.
$50k and out? I know several divorced men who would take that deal in a heartbeat! I their cases, wifey got bored, got a good (female) lawyer, and basically put them on life-support in order to suck every dime they could from them they could. Whenever they fall a little “short for the kids”, they ring up the attorney and ask to sue for more child support. It’s unbelievable to watch...
“The $50k for breach of promise is ridiculous (IMO). But he should be paying child support until that kid is an adult.”
Exactly. Even some posters seem to be confusing things — she certainly should NOT be getting anything “for breech of promise”, but he is certainly responsible for child support.
But her suit and the judge’s ruling is specifically ONLY about breech of promise.
