Dad wasn't dad after all, but still owes child support

umm by default he would be the legal guardian

By default, possibly - but it wasn't an agreement that he entered willfully, and even if so it was under a fraudulent premise with makes the entire thing null and void.

Further. Being Legal Guardian does not make you financially responsible or liable.

apparently it does, because look what the judge just ruled

wtf, are you just making shit up now? it's definitely not automatically null and void, but would probably be open to the judges discretion. you're saying if the man wanted to keep the kid, he would have to file paperwork to regain guardian status?

We are debating the judge's ruling. Again, being a 'Legal Guardian' doesn't make you financially responsible.

For example. Some older people may have 'LEGAL GUARDIANS' do to mental definciences - these legal guardians may be family members or they just may be someone that took on that LEGAL responsibility. That doesn't mean they've accepted or aquired the financial responsibility.

Making shit up? Hell no. It was FRAUD on this womans part by leading this man to beleive he was the father, which was the ONLY reason he even agreed to be the 'FATHER' so ... NO I am not making shit up, that was an act of fraud.


No, I never said automatic. You'd have to have a judge deem the 'contract' null and void in the instance of fraud. In this case, the judge is just as unfamiliar with justice and fairness as you seem to be.
