Not the Daddy still paying child support...

[Andeyhollawho]

It had nothing to do when she originally filed and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that the child was born in 2004. The four years of back pay/arrears he owed were split up among his future payments. That's basic child support. If she had filed in 2006, they still woulda went back to 2004 cause that's when the child was born. File date don't mean shit. If she had filed in 2008, they woulda went back to 2004.

Hell, she coulda filed against another nigga in 2004, didn't find him until 2008. He goes to court. They find out it ain't his. She says, "Well the only other dude I was with was Andey's friend." They find him. Test him. He is the father. They will STILL go back to 2004 even though it was assumed that another nigga was the father for four years. Is it fucked up? Yes. Lesson learned? Wrap your dick up.

OK this is what I was getting at. So you say this is basic child support. But exactly what gives them the right to charge you money for the time you were not under the court order? That's my question to you.

I get served in 08, go to court in 08 and I'm told from 08 on that I have to pay support. Ok fine. Why am I paying for before I was served? Cause in your logic I shouldn't have to cause there was no order until 08? I wasn't served in 04 I was served in 08.

Am I just lapping circles around the pool here or what!

The purpose of child support is to provide for the child. You had the sex with the mother to create the child. For however many years, she solely provided for it including your part. You owe that money. If the court wasn't allowed to do that, niggas would just avoid court until the child turned 18.

An order meaning the physical order to pay, cannot be established until you're served and go to court. The order was established in 2008 for you to pay current AND backpay. Nothing was established in 2004. If it was, you'd be in jail for non-payment. There is no penalty, that's why they allow you to pay it in future payments.

But technically...you know what. Fuck it!

Semantics at this point.

Bottom line on this story is that it's f'ed up that any man can lose his freedom for not paying support when he is unemployed and homeless. How is this helping society(ie. The State) at all? To add insult to injury the kid isn't his and he can prove it but is still locked up? Is it too much to ask that we have laws that provide for common sense outcomes for society at large? F a "he should have known his rights". The fact that he believed the woman and payed when he could is evidence enough that the guy is a stand up dude. Not an idiot as some on this board has suggested.
