 Quote From: laney9999 This is such an unfortunate situatuion! However, how can someone just walk away from a little girt that he raised for 10 years? If it were not for Erique's new wife, he would still believe that Selina was his daughter. If he questioned her paternity it should have certainly been at birth. Not 10 years later! You can not just stop being a father as he did. Yes Maria may have not been truthful from the beginning but why punish a child for her mothers doings, and this seems just what Mia wants Erique to do. Yet Selina is the one whom has taken the punishment. Erique should pay child support for Selina and continue to do so and be her father until she was of legal age and then discuss with her the situation should it arose.
I particularly did not like Carnell Smith. Why did he fight his ex after 11 years of child support, what was his excuse for not doing so immediately when the child was born?
Any man whom has acted as a father to a child for x-amount of YEARS should certainly continue to do so. If there should be any reason of disbelief of paternity it should be taken care of within the first 2 years of life, not a decade later......
Sorry for all you men out there that may have this problem, but for any reason of disbelief take care as soon as possible. We have to MANY children in this country that the fathers evade child support and there are far to many children in this country that will never know whom their fathers are because of the mothers many partners and unable to find the true paternity. Whom pays for all of these children? We do, the taxpayers! If not for Enrique's wife, he wouldn't have known he was being frauded by his ex! He wouldn't even be in this situation had Maria been honest from day 1. No man should ever have to pay support on a child that isn't his. Why should he? Most men don't find out until after 2 years is up..........it doens't matter what the reason or how the reason that they found out........the fact IS, is when they do find out, they should get all their support money repaid to them. Have you ever thought there NEVER would have been a bond to begin with had they known it wasn't their child? You think it's okay for a women to MAKE that choice for a man? Should a man have the right to make that choice for THEMSELVES??? I guess you think it's okay for a woman to go after a man 10 years later for child support when he had no clue he even had a child and be made to pay back support? Well, it happens..............they give a man 2 years to contest paternity but a woman has a lifetime to name a man as a father..........this has nothing to do with fathers evading child support.............if they ARE the father, then they SHOULD pay...........but ONLY if they are the father! |
