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

[Smurfy]

As bad as it seems, I agree with the court. They should have gone through all of this during the divorce proceedings. I think the one year statute of limitations provides him with ample time to get the test, etc.

you're assuming he already knows or has a suspicion that the child is not his at the time of the divorce proceedings.
but what if there's no inkling at that time? and what if it somehow comes out later down the line that there was infidelity? things do happen this way - do they not?

Yes, they do. I just think that public policy weighs in favor of protecting the child moreover than protecting the spouse. There is a saying in law that is "hard facts make bad law." This is just one of those cases. Divorces seem to go on forever and ever with some bitter litigants. Putting a limit on the time makes sense to me.

i find it disturbing.

Well, yes, I see both sides of the coin. I just weigh in favor of the child.

i agree with the ruling completely. the fake-dad got fucked over in the worst way, but the kid shouldn't be the one who's punished.

Boy that's the fucking truth.

Maybe DNA testing at birth should be mandatory, just part of the process boy I bet that would eliminate a lot of cuckholding

cuckholding = ultimate evolutionary pwnage

i guess I am disturbed because for my child, its not like without the child support he has suffered in any way. he has still been supported perfectly fine by me. his quality of life is not affected by the fact that his father doesnt pay child support. but i guess in cases where the child WOULD suffer significantly, i can see where continued support would be necessary.

people need to learn to support themselves though. wtf. why any one adult would put themselves in a position of being dependent upon another is beyond me.

No freaking way do those guests act that well.

Unless you mean rigged another way.



"Meet Shawneea, she has been desperately searching for the father of her 18 month old daughter, Siphony. Now, she's tested 41 men, and apparently none have been the father, but today she's testing her Uncle lejuno.

Lejuano says He is NOT the father and can prove it."



*Lejuano- "She comes home smelling like **bleeep**"



Here are the results... Lejuano, you ARE the father."


***Shawneea** "See?! I told you. I told you!! Where my money? My my f***bleeeep**ing money!?""

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO



GL, you have obviously seen way too many Maury shows if you have the script downpat.

This type of ruling makes paternity tests at birth mandatory.

Actually I dont think that is such a bad idea. As MM said, it would certainly cut down on A LOT of BS and ultimately be better for the child.

I think that is it horribly unfair to make this man be victimized twice: first by his ex-wife and then a second time by the system for seeming to almost reinforce her wrongdoing by blamin the victim (here, the man AND the child) because he was *foolish enough* to trust his ex-wife and not snooping sooner.

However, I do understand the ruling. I don't think that it is fair but I understand it. Which leads me back to my opening statement agreeing with MM all the whey . If a woman is an honest woman, a DNA test shouldn't insult her as she knows the outcome of it before hand, right?

Having said all of that I did once meet a single dad who was embroiled in a pretty ugly divorce. Looking back on the situation through my eyes now I am not siding with one or the other (isn't my place really) and they have both long moved on and remarried and are sharing their children quite nicely. His second child was not his own. And he knew it from the moment the child was born. He never said a word to his exwife and actually took her back (though I dont know how). Years later the marriage broke down beyond repair and his attorney told him, "You know you are not responsible to pay childsupport for *this* child." The man was incensed. His answer was, "Dont you EVER say that again or anything like that. That child was mine from the moment I laid eyes on her and I am her only father."

Though I don't agree with a lot of how he lived his life I have to say for this one deed he will ALWAYS have my utmost respect.

I'll bet money that this will push some men too far and that they'll do something drastic to the women...or worse yet...to the kid.

I'd be the bitch's worst nightmare. I wouldn't need the Supreme court.
