Detroit man faces prison for not paying child support for child who isn't his; sparking controversy [View all] davidn3600 Jan 2015 OP

Since he's apparently known about this for 20 years, it's nice to see him finally trying to resolve msanthrope Jan 2015 #1

That's the real issue kcr Jan 2015 #2

The way I read it, he tried to get it straightened out as soon as he became aware Bandit Jan 2015 #5

If it's shown he didn't know, he may be kcr Jan 2015 #9

read it again. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #15

I read it perfectly fine the first time kcr Jan 2015 #22

should be easy to determine; the court claims it served him. did it serve him in prison? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #27

That's fine kcr Jan 2015 #28

no problem with what? it's a matter of determing who signed the service document and i ND-Dem Jan 2015 #31

You're the one who seems to think I have one kcr Jan 2015 #33

you said you have "no problem with that". i didn't understand what "that" meant. it doesn't mean ND-Dem Jan 2015 #40

I'm not sure why that is. It was a direct response to a post you made. kcr Jan 2015 #42

thank you for the clarification. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #45

Yet you showed no shyness... tonedevil Jan 2015 #51

Point out where I declared he was irresponsible n/t kcr Jan 2015 #54

Post #2 tonedevil Jan 2015 #58

In neither of those do I state he's irresponsible or that I think he is. kcr Jan 2015 #59

Consider the meaning of these words... tonedevil Jan 2015 #60

Yes. The meaning of those words are kcr Jan 2015 #62

So you mean... tonedevil Jan 2015 #63

Either were remiss if they could have cleared it up but didn't, of course kcr Jan 2015 #64

It doesn't matter who signed it. That's not what determines service. nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #66

This message was self-deleted by its author kcr Jan 2015 #71

You are maintaining... tonedevil Jan 2015 #73

If the attempt was made at his last known legal address, and service was msanthrope Jan 2015 #77

so if some random person living at one's last known address signs it, you're served? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #82

His father isn't a "random person." nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #83

I didn't say he was. My post was in response to your #66. "It doesn't matter who signed it." ND-Dem Jan 2015 #88

He was served at his legal address. He doesn't have to be served in prison. nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #72

There seems to be some dispute about that. tonedevil Jan 2015 #74

This is legal bullshit from the NPO.... msanthrope Jan 2015 #78

You are clearly informed... tonedevil Jan 2015 #89

I have sympathy for him, too. There are no winners here. nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #90

Sure there is...the real father won big time. n/t JimDandy Jan 2015 #93

He should be sued. nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #94

I love know-it-alls who don't read the artcle, post anyway and sound stupid. That's the real issue. TeamPooka Jan 2015 #39

It was never his to pay. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jan 2015 #52

Well, there's the way we wish things were, and then there is reality kcr Jan 2015 #53

He didn't just say 'not me', though. He proved it. nt Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jan 2015 #56

I wasn't talking about him, I was addressing a general point. kcr Jan 2015 #57

I guess his high-powered, high-dollar legal team should have gotten right on it. Comrade Grumpy Jan 2015 #4

Actually it reeks but not for the reason you say. trumad Jan 2015 #6

Here's the thing---if his legal address was his father's house, it simply doesn't matter that he was msanthrope Jan 2015 #68

yes, he is obviously a bad dad and bad person all around snooper2 Jan 2015 #7

Considering he doesn't want to pay for the care of the child... jen1980 Jan 2015 #76

That's pretty harsh... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #80

ITS NOT HIS KID HE ISNG ANY KIND OF DAD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ncjustice80 Jan 2015 #91

"then yes he *is* a bad dad." A... umm.. where is Mother's duplicity in this argument? OLDMADAM Jan 2015 #92

WTF are you talking about? LisaL Jan 2015 #103

The woman who set him up should go to prison seveneyes Jan 2015 #11

I don't think she set him up. cyberswede Jan 2015 #18

This is common Beaverhausen Jan 2015 #47

So the State can go... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #79

She used his name instead of that of a real father. LisaL Jan 2015 #100

So it's his fualt that you can't read the whole story? He did and has been trying to resolve it TeamPooka Jan 2015 #34

Look--it doesn't take you 20 years to resolve child support. He's known about it since the early msanthrope Jan 2015 #65

Well...... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #81

What you write sounds probable. And I have sympathy for him, in the sense that it is very msanthrope Jan 2015 #84

I tend to doubt the mother would spend the money on the child anyway bluestateguy Jan 2015 #3

In general or only in this case? nt geek tragedy Jan 2015 #8

Do you know her personally? cyberswede Jan 2015 #14

That is a real policy problem of which you speak bluestateguy Jan 2015 #23

they do it so they can go after the father for support. notadmblnd Jan 2015 #37

Or, they can stop requiring women to name someone to get benefits kcr Jan 2015 #41

I'm not making any proposals. notadmblnd Jan 2015 #43

You said she should be charged with welfare fraud. kcr Jan 2015 #44

If she gave thae mans name to get welfare knowing he was not the father notadmblnd Jan 2015 #49

Okay. Where's your proof she didn't know he was the father? n/t kcr Jan 2015 #55

because she told him dsc Jan 2015 #67

Is there another article with that info? I just went back and re read it in case I missed that kcr Jan 2015 #69

From the linked article. tonedevil Jan 2015 #75

Still don't see it, in either link. kcr Jan 2015 #85

This is from the link I provided. tonedevil Jan 2015 #87

That isn't in any link you provided or in the OP kcr Jan 2015 #95

I'm not the OP. /nt tonedevil Jan 2015 #97

I said IF notadmblnd Jan 2015 #86

Do you always assume people are lying? kcr Jan 2015 #96

answer a question with a question. Typical notadmblnd Jan 2015 #98

I completely agree. closeupready Jan 2015 #19

That's a separate issue and is not related to this article. nm rhett o rick Jan 2015 #29

You've got some serious fucking women issues. Or is it black issues? Pick one. nt TeamPooka Jan 2015 #35

More importantly... Glassunion Jan 2015 #10

This is something far more than being guilty because he signed his name on a birth certificate JonLP24 Jan 2015 #12

did you read the story? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #16

Not much further JonLP24 Jan 2015 #24

try reading, it's not about you ND-Dem Jan 2015 #26

I wasn't even making it about me JonLP24 Jan 2015 #30

Thanks for the ignorant post. Read the fucking story next time. Your facts are so wrong it's funny. TeamPooka Jan 2015 #36

What are my facts & how are they wrong JonLP24 Jan 2015 #48

LOL, you wrote all that out and are still wrong snooper2 Jan 2015 #99

Wait.... he's not the father (the mother lied), he wasn't involved in raising the kid, Nye Bevan Jan 2015 #13

I'm with him - this is simply not fair. closeupready Jan 2015 #17

The article indicates he won't go to jail cyberswede Jan 2015 #20

Only because he finally got a decent lawyer that took his case pro bono; along with media attention davidn3600 Jan 2015 #32

Judge suspended because of the growing publicity. Otherwise he would be in jail today. TeamPooka Jan 2015 #38

Carnell, you are NOT the father! KamaAina Jan 2015 #21

I've heard of this case over the years. tammywammy Jan 2015 #25

This isn't about paying child support because the mother needs help. The STATE wants Alexander hughee99 Jan 2015 #101

And apparently the real father is known. LisaL Jan 2015 #102

A good question. My guess is that his name isn't on any forms, and while everyone knows hughee99 Jan 2015 #105

good thing he got a lawyer to help him. Now its cleared up, no jail or 30k tab. Sunlei Jan 2015 #104
