Should a man be force to pay child support if he is proven not to be the father?

If your answer is "YES" please explain.

Thank you.

Whats the story behind the question IMG?

Unless he volunteers to pay in order for him to see the kid then I vote no.

SBR Lou · 11-05-07, 10:46 PM

The answer is no, hands down.

robzilla · 11-05-07, 10:51 PM

my answer is no, but i could see how it could be yes depending on the situation.

Like if a dude raised the kid til it was like 14, but knew all along it wasnt his kid then he should probably have to.

i think DNA tests should be done after every birth.

Saw this question on TV.

Woman told this guy he was the father and put his name on the birth certificate and collected child support for 10 years.

Well a DNA test was taken and it was proven he was NOT the father. The court is still ordering him to pay child support.

I can't believe how wrong this is.

I have a buddy who actually pays child support because his ex put his name on the birth certificate, but she was pregnant when they got involved. He hasn't contested it or anything, he is involved in the kids life and doesn't mind paying. She's a bitch about letting him see the kid though.

That is messed up. I'm assuming the woman was not forthright about sleeping with somebody else, or else most any man would demand a paternity test.

He should not have to pay any longer, unless he so chooses.

He doesn't mind paying for kids that aren't his?

This is regarding your friend.

SBR Lou · 11-05-07, 10:58 PM

He hasn't ever complained about paying for the kid, only about what a bitch his ex is. He was there during the birth and all that, so he got emotionally attached. Doesn't have any biological kids of his own so was easy for him I guess.

JJ doesnt pay his babys mom child support. But he does say, "Bitch, I got $10,000 on the Leafs to win the stanley cup. When they do it, you'll get your ****in money!"

pico · 11-06-07, 12:23 AM

damn, this is screwed up. not only i won't pay, i would ask to get those money back.

Hell no.

If you aren't the father, you MUST challenge it right away. If you accept the court's paternity ruling, you've made your bed.

From a public policy point of view, it makes sense. If you were nailing the girl and don't want to spend $200 (or however much it is) for a test, at least the kid is better off.

I know about this case where a woman gave a blow job, then ran off to the fridge. Turned out she froze the sperm and had 200 women artificially inseminated. Guy had to pay every single one child support!

No, I don't.

I did read a book once about an organization that went after the sperm of famous men, to sell it with huge profits. Fictional story, but not a business model.

Doc JS · 11-06-07, 09:36 AM

While I voted NO and I'm not a lawyer (and didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night

), the courts have historically held that the interests of the child are paramount and the "father figure" in the household to be financially responsible even if they are proven NOT to be the biological father.

That is why I fuk hookers only

Women are lousy cons

robzilla · 11-06-07, 10:10 AM

JJ u are a Poontang magnet!

Rollins08 · 11-06-07, 10:20 AM

if you want to act like the father and see the kids you should give something, I don't know if child support is the right word for it. It certainly should not be court ordered.

atakdog · 11-06-07, 10:32 AM

One situation that hasn't been discussed: in most states (all, perhaps), a man who was married to the mother at the time a child was conceived cannot challenge paternity; in other words, the fact that mom was screwing around is legally irrelevant. Interesting law.

GOOD POINT:

Another instance where common sense does not prevail. The answer has to be "No" unless there are extenuating circumstances.

jon13009 · 11-06-07, 09:39 PM

Goes to show that before you agree to sign or do anything, you better make sure all the facts are correct.

imgv94 · 11-06-07, 09:48 PM

I bet there are plenty of women who think differently about this which is sad.

because they are too lazy to work and feel the world owes them something. Dated one like that for 20 minutes before I ran for the hills....
