Ontario Superior Court, in Canada. But I'm sure there are plenty of radical judges who would rule the same way in the US.


woops. pays not to skim a post.:redface:
 
i think the non- biological dad should still pay child support and be a father to those kids, but i dont think that should be for the judge to decide. if he wants to pay then he shouldnt be court ordered, he can do it out of his own free will. he shouldnt just cut them off after 16 years bc they dont share the same dna.

and his stupid wife said she doesnt even remember having an affiar hahaha yeah right
 
Honestly, I'd fight for custody instead. I mean, if its nurture and not nature that apparently decides who pays child support, then I am as much their parent as she is, and since she apparently does not have the ability to keep her legs closed, I'd rather have my kids with me.

Ouch!!!

I especially don't get this statement:

"The right to child support is the right of a child, and is independent of a parent's own conduct."

The man is being forced by the court to make payments eventhough the kids are not his?


i hope to god a kid never looks at me and says "i want you to be my dad"
 
The standard criteria in Canada for a non-biological parent is that if you go through 5 years of being in a parental role to a child, you could be legally bound to pay child support. The parent is not required to adopt the child or even marry the other parent.

People have to stop getting hung up on the idea that the children should be denied support because of the wrong-doing of one parent. It has nothing to do with conduct or lies or biology. If you act as a parent to a child, and then leave the home, you can expect to be made to pay child support.

Yes, what the woman did was low, dirty, deceptive and downright wrong, but it is not the kids fault. Family court is meant to protect the interests of the children, not the parents.

I know these things. I went through a nasty 4 year custody battle. :)

im sure if he found out that he wasnt the father right away he would not have been with the children for 5 years. The mother might of known it wasnt his baby or she might of not known, either way he should not have anything to do with children born from his wifes affair if he doesnt want to.
 
I hear ya, but unfortunately in family courts across the country, decisions are made that usually benefit the mother along with the children. That comes from years and years of female lobby groups pounding the tar out of politicians and getting themselves into positions of influence within the system.

In the local child maintenance office, there is not a man to be found. All women. And all ball busters. :)

i totally agree with this depending on how the non-biological father would act. after spending 16yrs with these girls he should have a fathers bond with them anyway if their relationship was half decent. he should not be ordered to pay a certain amount and the money he does give needs to somehow be accounted down to every penny that its going to the kids and things they need. not the woman who has affairs, and doesnt remember having sex, and fails to tell her husband anything of it. it was only revealed b/c of a dna test. the father should continue helping his girls and only them, forget the mother.....clothes, food, and things for his daughters....moms needs to call the dude/s she was humpin bck in the day for her wants.....my .02cent
 
I have a stepson who has a father but could care less about him me and my fiance have been to court to settle this and he owes her thousnads of back child support but since a real man understands the simplicity of a child he is now my son do to the fact that I help to take care of him and get him what he needs day to day and help with his homework and tuck him in at night and make sure he eats and brushs his teeth I have earned the respect of him calling me DAD!
 
I didnt read the whole thread but i payed money to a girl that i thought had my child for over 12 months. then after a dna test i found out the kid wasnt mine, the judge declared all the money givin was gift money and i didnt get a dime back. i chalked it up as experience and moved on.
