Quote From: drphilfan5 In my opinion, the ex- wife holds the majority of the blame for what has happened. I find it unconscionable, that this woman Maria, would seek child support for a child that wasn't her ex's. The law regarding child support, drastically needs to be changed, so that when someone files for child support, a court ordered paternity test is mandated ,before any decision on child support is made. And only biological parents made to pay it. As for non biological parents, it should be totally volountary.
As a dad , I totally feel for Selena, she is the true victim in this case. But trying to get Enrique to pay a debt, that he clearly doesn't owe, only drives a wedge further into his and Selena's relationship.
If Maria clearly cared about her daughter, which in my opinion, she DOESN"T ,she would be only worried about the relationship between her daughter and her EX, and forget about the money. Let him decide if he wishes to pay anything. Most men I have talked to, resent paying child support, mainly because they feel the money isn't being used on the child, but rather supporting their ex-wifes lifestyle, which is doubly painful when , as in this case, Maria was the one who cheated on Enrique. And being forced to pay for a child that wasn't his , would only be a way of condoning her previous actions.
Don't even get me started on Gloria Allred, she is clearly why lawyers are so disliked by society, and the punch line of so many jokes. She has spent so many years spewing 'BS', in a effort to win her cases ,that I think she actually believes the stupidness that she spews out of her mouth. The only valid comments she made where in relevance to Selena's well being being of the utmost importance.
I hope that Maria can finally realize the awful things she has done to her daughter ( and Enrique), and do the right thing, by trying to help repair her daughters relationship with Enrique.
Very well put! Good idea here. And lots and lots of truth.
