A woman my son was with for a very short time, called and told him she was pregnant and the child was his. Being the decent person he is, he was there before and during her birth (after she was born, he began wondering if she really was his), has paid child support, purchased additional needs for her, has seen her every chance he could, etc. We know the mother is a drug addict (that's what ended their relationship), never provides a steady, secure home for the child, moves all over the place, and lives on welfare. We have been loving and devoted grandparents to the child, as well. The little girl is now eight y/o. The mother recently got mad at my son because he told her he was going to report her drug and alcohol use to the authorities. Plus, he was going to attempt to gain custody because he didn't want his child raised around the drugs and he could provide a good home for her. She told him he's not the real father and only told him that because the real father was in prison, we were all devastated, but also angry. My son gave up his dream of joining the military and having a career in the Air Force over this whole issue. He took a paternity test and found out the child is not his. He had been swindled by a woman who lives on drugs and the welfare system. He went to the DA and was told them the whole story, showed the text messages between them and the results of the paternity test. He stated he wanted all of his money returned that the DA took from him and that all further child support stopped. The DA here in Sacramento, CA, told him that he's the established father and therefore has to continue to support the child until she's 18 y/o. That's the equivalent to putting someone behind bars for 18 years for a crime they didn't commit and in the meantime the real criminal has been found, but since they already have someone in jail, the real criminal can get off the hook. My son has since found out that several people knew the truth, but didn't want to get involved. Where are my son's rights?? He was lied to, his dream career destroyed, he's devastated and then further trampled on by so called justice system! This has nothing to do with police. It's the DA and all their other liberal BS that allows this type of insanity to go on. He plans on fighting this all the way to the CA Supreme Court if he has to. Plus, during this whole time she's on drugs, collecting welfare and he's working to support her drug habit, something he wants no part of, but the state doesn't care, they just want money! We now know who the true father is and he says he's not paying for his child. This must stop!!! -

Paying for child support for 37 years with only 5 to 6 visitation rights .I just hope child support reform helps new fathers, for some of us father's it's to late, there are three sure things in life. 'Death, taxes, child support " my son now of 41 years old asked me what does he get when I die, I replyed you will get to take over paying child support!REPORT COMMENTS

It is frightening that a former wife who receives child support is not held accountable for the way she spends the income. If most of it goes for the ex wife's pleasure, and very little goes to for the care of the children, such as school, medical and dental expenses, and housing, what recourse does the father have? Please introduce legislation that will correct this absurd situation and help the innocent children. Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS

I want to support my children, not my exwife. I do all the work and she gets all the time with the kids. I can't understand how that is even a thing. I want to make sure my hard earned money gets to my kids. When my kids are with me for the summer why do I have still have to pay my ex? I offered to have the children live with me and take ZERO dollars from her. My intrest is taking care of my children, her intrest is using the kids as a paycheck. Also.... How is it that the person who doesn't work and commits adultery be the one who benefits financially.... Feels like the twilight zone. My kids are stuck in a place with a promiscuous woman who doesn't want to work and has poor judgment and no direction in life.... I can take of them without any money from her, and can provide a safe stable environment and a future for my children...but wait.... I am not a woman so I automatically lose?!?!?!?!REPORT COMMENTS

The party receiving the support SHOULD HAVE TO show by receipt where the money is going. If they require so much money, they should have to justify it. The amount paid out because I have a part-time job in addition to my full-time job is ridiculous. She sits home after a 40hr work week and collects bug time because I put extra effort forth...REPORT COMMENTS

My son is being held responsible for back child support when the mother and the child both lived with him. It is an unjust system when a person is allowed to double dip the system. My son proved that he provided complete support for four or more years yet she is being allowed to claim back child support. Today she sits at home and collects a third of his pay check, while providing no support of her own. Unfair and unjust. The system needs to be overhauled to reflect the changing times.REPORT COMMENTS

My son didn't get to see his daughter because his wife would lie to himself, trick him, her and her brother, boyfriend, and her beat him up. He would try to do everything she wanted but she abuse him mentally and physical this has been years ago now but he continue to suffer given he had lost a very good job at the time they meet. At that time he was already in a relationship with his one and only love but at that time trouble was in the works because he had a very good income at age 21. She cause him to lose that job, and that was it all that followed was torment. The bottom line is he lost jobs, all his tools that he needed to do his work he never got anything back nothing. She trick him into signing divorce documents not even realizing what he was doing because he trusted her. Little by little my son started falling the abuse was intense but what man is going to tell people he was getting physically and mentally abused. He lost his son Zachary, Daniel and daughter Skylar. It didn't take me long to get Zach because I shared custody with Joshua. He got put in jail over and over not being able to work because he lost his license and job. Has soon as he work try to find employment he would lost it from being put in jail again. This woman was destroyed his life he was trying of course I was paying not knowing I would soon be on the unemployment line. My son took his life on August 20, 2016 because he just had been so traumatized, he broke and he was a man's man if wasn't like him to do should a thing. I just wonder how many other men will die or kill.REPORT COMMENTS

I have a 14 year old and for all but 2 years she has lived with me. I never married her father. The state that she was born says the father has no rights until he petitions for them. We had child support orders, he failed to pay, we enforce etc. Then she went to live with him in another state for less an a year. I had to give him temporary phyiscal custody so he could enroll her in school. She came home less than a year. I again and full custody (but apparently not to the courts). When she came back to my state I was able to enroll her without any problem because she was in the system for so many years. The week she came home I filed with the stats child support office where the father lived and started the process. Months went by without any word or progress. So I called the state I live in. The would work with the other state on my behalf. I found out my state waited 4 months to send it to the other state! Then that state did nothing, again for months. I am at 11 months now and I was just told that the state where the father lives now requires me to go to court and get custody papers! If this is the case, this should have been brought to my attention the moment they got the file, not 11 months later. I now have to spend more money to get this process going and I am still not receiving support. I would appreciate any feedback if you have been through something like this. Thanks!REPORT COMMENTS
