Though i can't remember which state this took place in, but we have been debating this issue at work for a minute now, so i thought I'll get your opinion on it as well...
This guy been raising a child he believed to be his for 12 years now..though he's no longer with the mother, but was required to pay child support to the mother through the court..infact, It gets deducted from his check every pay period..so now the problem is..after 12 years of supporting this child financially and being there emotionally as well, he then finds out that this child isn't his through a dna testing..He was prompted to do so cause a friend of his overheard the girl telling someone that the child isn't his and that she just wants the extra income and nothing else...But the shocking thing now is that the Jugde still wants him to continue paying child support to this girl because he's the only father he's known..so therefore, he's being forced to take care of a child that's not even his...I say this is wrong, not only is he not supposed to continue, i think the girl should pay him back all that money she received...but so far, it seems like he will continue to take care of this kid..so whts your input on this?...

thats so unfair and selfish!!!!
yes....the man should stop contributing and its compulsory for that gal to pay him back the money that he had supported for the past 12 years.......its insane to let someone pay for something that he doesn't own.....unless he volunteered to do so.....
Sad, that woman has no morals at all. She should pay him all that money back, he has been there for the child, and for all intents and purpose is the father of the child, but he shouldn't be legally responsible for a child that is not biologically his unless he elects to of his own free will. It's just not fair. :'(

I agree myra, the poor guy is stuck taking care of someone else's child just cause she decided to be a erohw...
this is morally reprehensible and inordinately amazing....for a girl to hide this for 12 years....truly incredible.....then every man should start going for a DNA test with all their children....unfaithfulness....
the man should take care of the child voluntarily...afterall the child calls him Daddy...but the girl should refund all the cash she had ever got.....or go to jail...

yup, and he should've waited til after the child is born, then do that before signing the birth certificate. But i think he signed believing that the kid is his...and she probably played the whole thing very well for him to never suspect anything.

tru tru..I guess he's only looking at the fact that he's been in this child's life all these years, and he's the only father he knows, so therefore should continue...that should be entirely up to him to wanna do so, not the judge...

like* .... plus if they are sooo concerned about the child, then they should pay for the child support and all that. Sometimes this human right and equal oppurtunity thing doesn't make sense (if thats what this is about). Can't let a man suffer for what he can't call his own. If he wants to continue... great, but if he doesn't want to continue , he shouldn't be forced to. What about the rights of the man? whos gonna support the man?, I can imagine working hard and then paying tax and all at the end of the month, summed up with all the frustration if the pay is not right and then having to deal with fathering another mans child. If he doesn't want to invest in the child because he is not her biological father, thats a good enough reason.
