Man Forced To Pay Support Despite DNA Evidence

When I worked at Coca Cola, one the the guys who delivered our nitrogen was in this situation. He found out the boy wasn't his when the child was 15. He said he always suspected the child wasn't his. When I asked him why didn't he get a DNA test, his response:

"They too damn high"!

I've listened to a lot of other men complain about paying child support on children that weren't theirs and they all said that a DNA was too expensive for them to pay for.

A one-time legalized DNA test costs about $400 to $500, which is pretty cheap compared to paying anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per month of child support for the next 18 years or 216 months, which is approximately $108,000 to $216,000 of your life earnings.

Peculiar thing... After reading this thread earlier today, I talked with my cowokrer about what he thought about it. He tells me his younger brother (mid 40s), went through a similiar situation. His high school girlfriend got pregnant, and there was a question (then) of whether the baby was his. But he claimed it, and raised it. Then when the daughter was in High School, the momma's old (other) boyfriend from high school came around, claiming the girl was his daughter. And a big mess ensued. The daughter, caught in the middle of all of this, wanted a paternity test. And David's (my coworker) brother didn't want to take it. But eventually he gave in.

The girl wasn't his......

And the daughter was so traumatized, she killed herself.. David's brother is now in prison in Oklahoma, convicted of attempted murder, when he tried to kill the old boyfriend (after the daughter killed herself). The old boyfriend was shot several times and is now paralyzed.

So nobody won, in this instance.


Be careful what you ask for......:what:

WOW!!!
 



This is completely ridiculous, however, it happens every day. In the State of Tennessee, once you sign the birth certificate, I believe you have 2 years to rescind. When my daughter was born in January of 08, I remember the lady that does the birth certificate reading me this long message stating that by signing the birth certificate, I was acknowledging that I was the child's father and that by signing I would play a financial part in my daughter's life.

I'm no longer with her mother anymore, but I have/had no reason to ask for a DNA test on my daughter. Most people say that I was just spit her out. The only thing she has from her mom is her complexion...the rest is all me. The court system is so screwed up when it comes to this type of matter. It's designed to be against the man, and that's a fact. I have a good friend that went through hell and hot water to put the MOM on child support. If it was the other way around, it would have been simple.

This guy should not be paying child support. Crazy thing is, there is nothing that he can do about it though.

Wait-you can get those tests cheaper.

http://www.gtldna.com/ Tests cost $79.

One thing they noted in thier FAQ

You say you do all paternity tests at your laboratory. Is this good?
Many companies that offer DNA tests are not DNA laboratories at all. They send your test to another paternity laboratory for the actual testing. That laboratory may be accredited, or not, but you can be sure it is the "lowest bidder." When you call to ask about your DNA test, the company may not know anything about it except that it was sent out for testing. At GTL, we perform our own DNA tests, so if you call we can answer any question you have about the status of your test.

Or just keep it in your pants or invest in condoms to avoid all this mess. Since the worst thing than having a kid out of wedlock is having something that grape juice can't cure like HIV and other STDs.

this why some men don't ask for a DNA test,
but when divorce is in the air
they may ask for one.


I've even seen dudes saying they were tryin' to
get a woman pregnant so she will have to deal
with them forever...sick?

I agree, they are much cheaper NOW. When I worked at Coca Cola, this was back in 2001 and this particular guy had a kid that was about 15. From what he told me back then, the cost of a DNA test would have cost him anywhere from $1000 to $1500. I've always thought DNA paternity tests back about 10-15 years ago to cost about $500-$2000, depending on where it was done, if the lab was certified and accredited.

I was talking about the cost of a DNA paternity test about 10-15 years ago.
 
I always thought, from what I read, that in the event of a changed law where you were previously under conviction are no longer held accountable for it if the law changes--in this case I would sincerely encourage him to get a DNA test and present it to the local child support agency also hire a lawyer and take it to court!
 
No. New laws are not retroactive unless they contain specific language that makes them retroactive.
