... - even though the court admits he is NOT the father


Carnell Alexander ordered to pay child support even though he's NOT the father | Daily Mail Online

Great example of how our officials like the money. So much, they don’t care about justice. You don’t live in US, weren’t born in US and don’t plan to live in US? You pay taxes to US! You are not the father of a child? Pay the child support!
 
Actually after there is a court order to pay he would have to sue to have it reversed. I have heard of this before, actually someone I knew had to pay child support for a kid he wasnt sure was his or not. Then DNA testing hit the scene. The kid wasnt his, so his attorney said he could probably get the order to pay reversed but definately not get the payments he had already paid. By that time though he just treated the kid like he was his so long he kept paying.
 



Someone has to support those kids. :roll:

So we should just force a random person to pay it that isn't the father? How is that just? How would you like to pay a big chunk of your paycheck to some kid who isn't yours for the next 18 years?
 

Thirty grand to pay the child support, and what to sue to have the judgement reversed? Thirty five, maybe? This is how the government screws citizens.

Now, the kid was born in '87, which would make him/her 27 now, and still they want child support? Isn't there some statute of limitations?
 
I dont know, I just know it aint new.
 



I've been doing it for quite a while and it doesn't cramp my lifestyle. I've paid a lot more than $30,000.00

Life goes on.

Well, you may enjoy giving massive sums of cash to women you aren't banging and isn't the mother of your child, but most men don't.

I will not pay child support to a child that isn't mine.

End. Of. Story.

Luftwaffe looks out for his own clan.
 
Speaking of that. A buddy of mine won $25,000 at the casino in Shelbyville Monday. He is kinda scumbag and was behind on his child support. They took it and his taxes out of the winnings. He still had enough to buy me a beer.

You will if a court orders you to.

Then I'll countersue the SECOND I'm ordered to and of course go to the press and all that.

That's just moronic, and the fact that you can care less if people are forced to pay for some kid that isn't theirs is more moronic.
 
now they have DNA, back in the day women would just say it was you because you had a good job. I got sued for child support once and the only thing that saved me was I would have had to have made the baby while in Marine Corps boot camp. Werent no babymakin going on there.

You would think that a 27-year old would be able to support him/her self, eh?

I was paying my own way when I was 16.
 
It's either him or the state and I'm sure the good people of Michigan through their judicial branch are happy that they picked him.

I have to agree. This is a gross miscarriage of justice.

I have no problem with you deciding to do that. Heck, I'd even call it noble.

I have a problem with a court that orders responsibility for something that this guy wasn't responsible for. Frankly, should he sue, he should have all his payments returned, with interest.
 

That's called a real father right there.

$25,000? :shock:

Wow, how did they know he had back child support due. Does that show up in some kind of search?

Get your beer soon before he disappears.
 
The state has a deal with the Casino, I guess they check. Damn computers.

One would think.
I had a wife, a baby, a job, and a mortgage by the time I was 27.

But, I think the issue is paying back child support.
 
The woman lied, admits to lieing about who the father was.

The man never received the subpoena because he was incarcerated on the day it was signed, which means the signature was forged by the process server.

The man didn't know anything about the child, which has been acknowledged in court.

He is still ordered to pay.

I think the judge that ordered this, after acknowledging the many crimes against this man associated with this case, should be removed from the bench.

You have to be able to trust the judge will use at least a little common sense, which is lacking in this case.
