I'll admit that I would just leave things be and suck up the $10,000 myself, but I don't blame him for his anger. More likely than not, he wouldn't have wasted five years of his life on her in the first place if she hadn't lied. You only live once - five years is a pretty meaningful chunk of that....

I would do the same providing I had the extra $10,000. That is a huge sum for some people, including me. The circumstances for me would be the financial situation of the mother, or rather, the child. If the mom is well off without the support, then she should pay it back. If not, then I would eat it rather than have the child suffer. As another woman and mother, I feel this is almost fair to the daughter. The woman is a louse and the child will figure that out on her own. The father shouldn't stoop to her level. As responsible adults, you have to take a lot of crap for the sake of the children.
