Dad wasn’t dad after all, but still owes child support

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Sixteen months after his divorce, Richard Parker made a devastating discovery. A DNA test revealed that his 3-year-old son had been fathered by someone else.Mr. Parker immediately filed a lawsuit claiming fraud by his apparently unfaithful ex-wife. He took his case all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.

Last week, the Florida justices ruled 7-0 against him. They said that Parker must continue to pay $1,200 a month in child support because he had missed the one-year postdivorce deadline for filing his lawsuit. His court-ordered payments would total more than $200,000 over 15 years to support another man’s child.

Now isn’t this just grand, and they call themselves justices, this is the exact reason why I created this blog to highlight the evergrowing injustice that is paternity fraud. Despite a DNA Test and suffering the heartache that the child you thought was yours is not. This poor guy has to payout for the next 15 years.
