taxi Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The Laws protect the Woman no matter if the woman is right or wrong. Where are the laws to protect the men? http://www.yourjewis...3/02/w6592.html A man was devastated when he found out that three of his four children are not his. The man in Montreal, Canada, had been married for 16 years to the same woman. The couple, had four children ages 16, 14 and 12, who are girls along with a boy of nine-years-old. The couple separated in 2010. While going through the divorce and custody issues, the man found out that he was not the father of his three daughters, although their son is his. Even more bizarre: all three girls have different fathers. But the worst yet to come, even after learning that the kids who he loved and raised as his own were not his, the judge ordered him to pay his former wife child support for all the children. Since he is the only father the children have known and he raised them as his own, he is responsible as if he was the father. In another case, a man named, Pasqualino Cornelio, was paying child support for his twins, but he later demanded DNA testing. When he found out that he was not the father of the twins, now 16, the judge ordered that he has to continue paying child support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Depends on how rich the guy is. You'd be surprised of how much of a paycheck child support can eat up. And you have no way of knowing what the mother is going to do with the money. From what I've seen anyway, generally the mother is awarded more than she'd probably need. If you're rich, you seem to get screwed. Not sure if poor father's get screwed as badly. In the story, the guy took care of these kids for a long time as is.. and he got cheated on.. why aren't the legit father's made to pay? Or the mother? She probably got half in the divorce too, which is the kicker. I agree with how many dads don't pay this, but it still doesn't mean that someone should be made to pay for kids that aren't even his, especially when they didn't even know.. and ESPECIALLY if the wife cheated on him during marriage. That's kind of messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think the lesson is you should get DNA testing asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just had a thought - maybe Wetcoaster could confirm... If this guy managed to find out who the actual biological fathers were, is there any legal basis for him to sue them for the the financial support he gave their offspring?

Kent.S Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The least the father can do is help support the children. He is the only father they have ever known. And as I said before, he certainly loved them and cared for them before knowing about this. What worries me is that now he has no interest in his children.As for the wife, trust me, she will see the consequences for this, much more than the father (if you can call helping support children a conseqence). The mother will, rightfully so, have to deal with children who will grow to resent what their mother did, never knowing their real fathers. She does not have an easy road ahead.The father can come out looking like a king in all of this by simply being loving, supporting father to only kids he has ever been a father for.Is it fair? No. But as the saying goes, "Life is not fair." Be a man, do the right thing. Sometimes, the right thing isn't "fair." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsedin33 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If he is forced to pay, I think the man should be able to the sue the real fathers for child support if he wants. Put it towards their education fund or wedding costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yes there would be a legal basis. There are plenty of cases where a biological dad has to pay support, despite his kids being taken on by a new dad. Whether the new dad himself could get money is another matter, but the kids certainly could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I think it's downright criminal to expect that he be ordered to pay child support for kids that aren't his. I wonder, though, how hard it must be for him to separate himself from their lives. Up until he found out, he would have formed very strong bonds with the children. What a yucky situation. Oh, and where are the real fathers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnabyJoe Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hmm. Father certainly had no problem helping provide for the kids when he thought they were his and loved them all equally. But now that he finds out that they aren't genetically his, he only wants to provide for one? Sorry, but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Noting criminal about it. He stood in loco parentis to the children and supported them - the law provides in such cases that child support may be awarded. It is all about the best interest of the child and not any wrongdoing ascribed to the mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 But, does he have NOTHING to go on? She falsified the facts and led him to believe that he is the father of her children. Shouldn't they be going after the real fathers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
