PDF Editor FAQ

Do you have to pay child support retroactively if you did not know you had a child?

Yes, sadly you do. This comes from experience. My husband found out he had a 7-year-old child in 2015. We got a letter from the state saying he already owed over $10,500 for the child. That is a number I will never forget. While recovering from the shock of realizing that there might be a child in the world who is a sister to our girls- we also had to come to terms with being made to pay a very formidable debt.Not only do you miss out on 7 years of first with a child, but you are also made to pay the mother for that. Ultimately in court for the back support, my husband received a judgment for nearly $20,000. The amount had increased as the government found more benefits that were paid to the child my husband owed for. So the mother got a little more than $5,000 for back support. The rest is owed to the government.We tried to argue that if my husband had been made aware of this child he would have supported them. Not only financially but also emotionally. That it was unfair of the government to ask him to pay when he didn’t know. The mother tried to claim he abandoned them in the hospital. But that was put to rest when we found the court records of when the original father sued to get off the birth certificate 3 years previous to this.Apparently, when the child was nearly 4, he found out the child wasn’t biologically his. We’re still not sure how this came about. But he successfully sued her for fraud, parenting under duress, and failing to disclose another biological contributor in the timeline of conception. In 2013 he won a judgment for child support paid, lawyers fees, and pain and suffering. It was around $6,000. To our knowledge, the mother has never paid the amount and according to court records she failed to appear at the trial.The father testified that he had no idea another man could have been the father so he was lied to when he signed the voluntary acknowledgment of paternity in the hospital. Since they weren’t married at the time of birth, the hospital usually secretly offers either parent the opportunity to get a DNA test before they sign the paperwork. He waived that right.We used his affidavit in court to bring reasonable doubt to her claim that my husband left them in the hospital. And also showed the judge baby pictures of my husband to further refute her claim that my husband left them because the “baby had blue eyes and blonde hair.” It’s hilarious as my husband himself was a blonde, blue-eyed baby.Why would he reject a baby that looked just like him, refuse a paternity test, and then another man walked in and signed the birth certificate fully believing himself to be 100% the father? So much so he declines a test? That means his testimony is in doubt. If my husband was indeed in the hospital that seriously brings doubt to the original father's lawsuit claiming he was defrauded and led astray by her lying to him. If he knew my husband was potentially also the father, then he can’t claim he now deserves to be taken off as responsible for the child.The judge hesitantly agreed with us. Then he followed that this didn’t matter- what mattered was that this child was my husband's. DNA proved that. So since my husband has an obligation to support his offspring, he shouldn’t be trying to get out of what he owes. The government spent money on this child and deserved to be compensated. Why is it fair to put this burden on the taxpayers? To which my husband replied that if he’d known about the child he’d have supported them, which would mean that they never would have received these benefits. Therefore that argument is null and void- the debt never would have been established in the first place if the government did their job of locating my husband. Why allow the child to get benefits for three years? It wasn’t like they were searching for my husband or he was one of many potential fathers. We owned a ho7me, he had a job, the mother knew his name and told it to the government, it’s not our fault they took 3 years to send us our letter.My husband said he will pay 100% of his obligations to this child going forward. Now that he knew about her, he believed that child support should start from the day that the DNA test came back. Especially because the mother delayed and avoided taking the test herself and ultimately needed a sheriff to go and take her and the child to test. My husband took him within the timeline given by the government, which was within 30 days of receiving notice.I tried to keep this short but it’s very complicated. The way child support works and then how parenting time and custody are other departments is confusing. Since we had no overnights credits we get no credits for parenting time. We got some credits going on from November 2015-May of 2016, once we enforced parenting time. My husband had the standard every other weekend and child support was determined at $800/monthly. Which is a lot for a single child. And even more to a family that was barely cutting it before this.No one cares my husband didn’t know about the baby. That he started all of this from behind. I’d say the average child support worker is a total idiot. They’re jaded and don’t believe anyone. They just want their money.That is the problem with our current court system. It cares more about child support than it does parental involvement. Mothers can withhold a child and get paid for it. There is no legal obligation for her to disclose that a child might be a man’s, but once she files for child support she Is legally obligated to receive every single dime. Something is wrong with that.Did anyone offer us make-up time for missing 7 years of a child's life? Did anyone apologize to my husband for not getting to see his baby's first steps, her first words? No. Never. Not once. Somehow all of this is my husband's fault and it’s the child who suffers. For the sake of the children take important consideration in who you sleep with- as you may be dealing with them for life.

If two friends going through a custody battle both ask you for an affidavit, how do you proceed?

There was the woman I tried to help. However she did terrible things. She would dress her daughter in shorts tank top and no shoes in the middle of the winter to come to my house when I told her she needed to face it her marriage was over. FOR the terrible things. Before she leave my house i would use my sons clothes they grew out of to dress her daughterI told her she is going to get it for child neglect She was so dazed and on drugs.If it wasn’t for me the kid would starve. Her husband was in the military. When he got back i told him he needs to get custody of his child. She had asked me first.However, I told her husband I cant support her. I did write a letter. I said either you fight or this letter Goes to CPS. He was so happy I was on his side.95% courts side with the mother. However not in this case. She lost custody however her visitation was reduced to court order supervised visitation.My letter and taking the stand and four others who gave similar testimony helped save a little girl from her own motherMy advise is to what’s the best interest of the child even if you have to sacrifice a friendship which maybe painfulIts like the song Don’t Rock the boat till its over By Midnight Star 1987 R & B song .

What are some examples of unfair/biased behaviour in court by judges in your country?

In Sec 125, 12, 18, maintenance related cases, if husband is unemployed, then too courts pass maintenance order as maintaining wives is sole responsibility of husband.Article 21(3) states, one shall not be asked to give evidences against self. However, wives lawyer uses CRPC 91 and overrides constitutional article. Courts force husbands to disclose salaries, income, etc in such manner. CRPC and IPC cannot override constitutional articles.In child custody cases, courts pass visitation orders for fathers. Wives complete violate these orders which should be looked as contempt of court but courts completely overlook these instances.SC / HC citations submitted during arguments in lower courts are completely overlooked. DV act 2005 states, courts are supposed to confirm prima facie if there is any validity in allegations made by wife. She files allegations on an affidavit which is sufficient to initiate legal course on husband & his relatives.Women can deny medical tests in case of rape case and levy charges. Similar strategy is used in case of Unnatural sex (Sec 377), attempt of murder, half murder and husband is arrested immediately.Wife, her lawyer and her relatives severely pressurize husband during mediation in marital cases, this goes on for few sessions and the objective is for husband to decide and cough up huge sums. SC Judges have stated 498A is blatantly misused and it is legal terrorism against husband and legislation should bring in sufficient checks to stop misuse.Female lawyers use filthy language during court trials against men and it is completely overlooked, on contrary if any such slips happen by men then they are strongly reprimanded by judges and threatened by imposition of penalty.
