... but judge, it isn't my hamburger!
The so-called "paternity fraud" bill did not make it through the 2005 session but this year was amended to an adoption bill (HB 7151) and was passed by the Florida Legislature.
I believe both parents should be treated equally in the birth of a child. That being said, it is totally asinine for courts to require someone who is not the father to pay child support.
You are rubbing salt in the wound. A guy finds out he is not the father and then wants nothing to do with the wife/girlfriend/whatever or child. It sucks, no doubt about it, but then to have the courts order you to pay child support is asinine.
Seriously, would a court just look away from the fact that the man has no biological ties to the child for custody?
The child is left in a terrible predicament, but it should be up to the mother. If a man would have to pay for a one night stand, (and I think he should) a man with no biological/adoption stake in the child should not.
And what’s up with “so-called” — bias much? [ Tallahassee Democrat ].
