Topic : 12/25 Parent Trap

Since when is it ok to blame someone else for your own actions?...much less, make them pay for them...literally!?  No, I do not think the way this Dad handled the situation was appropriate, but there's NO WAY I would pay for someone else's mistake.  I believe this should be a voluntary relationship and the mother should pursue the biological father.  I would also be careful as the new husband...she obviously isn't the most trustworthy wife.  And the female attorney (can't remember her name)...I'd really like to give her an attitude adjustment!!!

A man should not have to pay for a child that is not his. Dr. Phil said that the child comes first and money second. That is real easy for someone with all his money to say, but when a man is living paycheck to paycheck paying for  a child that is not his is just not right! The mother should be taking all the responsibilty for how this will effect the daughter...not the guy that has been hoodwinked by the adult mother that strayed. Not only is the daughter a victim here but so is the man, so who is going to pay for his therapy and handle his issues Dr. Phil?

That woman should take total responsibility for what she did!  Enrique didn't do anything but  trust her that Selina was his child.  He should NOT have to pay her money for the next 5 years!  He should be allowed to continue a loving relationship with the girl as a voluntary act of love.  I think Maria got off Waaaay too easily.  Dr. Phil, you should have bitten her head off! 

       Gloria Allred was embarrassing!  She's full of it!  All she cares about is having a platform to expound upon.  She missed the whole point!  I am a woman, but I think Dr. Phil lets the cheating women off much more lightly than he does the men.  Sorry, Dr. Phil!

This isn't about money, it's about fraud.  The bio-Mom should pay back the money that she got fraudulently.  The Dad, as a victim, has earned the right to full visitation with his daughter.  Fair is fair. 

  The daughter should not be further troubled with her Mother's little mistakes.  (Getting pregnant with another man's baby and asking her husband to pay for the support.)  The Mother should be made to settle her own misdeeds without further hurting her daughter.  Where is equal protection under the law for the father named for child support -who is not the father?  Why is the Mother not held responsible here?  We want equal rights- correct?  Well?  Pay back what you took, pay it like a man or go to jail like a deadbeat Dad.  You are a deadbeat Mom!!  Give him back the money you defrauded from him.  Name the real father and see if you can get some child support from him.  No matter what you get from the bio-Dad (or don't get) you owe your EX the money you stole from him!

In my opinion the Mother here- is a criminal.
