New Jersey Courts Make Ex-husband Continue to Pay Child Support Even When He Proved He Was Not the Father
Posted by Mr. Thoughtful on May 19, 2008
The New Jersey Courts are hard at work stealing from people under color of law. The state’s highest court has just upheld a lower court decision forcing a man to continue paying child support after he discovered that he was not the child’s father and that his ex-wife had deceived him into thinking that he, instead of the man she was having an affair with, was the father.
And, unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Courts around the country have abetted this sort of fraud committed by women. And even when people in the legislature tries to change the law, they are rebuffed. See my account several weeks ago about the fate of a bill in the Tennessee legislature to let men who had been paying child support go into court to prove they are not the fathers and stop paying in the future.
The New Jersey Supreme Court has upheld a lower court decision against a father who claimed that he should not have to pay child support to his ex-wife after discovering that the child was not his own. It is only the latest in a string of such cases.
The case involves a 10-year-old girl and a divorced couple in Hunterdon County New Jersey. The father submitted evidence that paternity tests showed that his ex-wife had misled him and that she had conceived the child with another man. He wanted to compel the disclosure of the true father and to end his child support payments. Yet, in the lower court decision, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Stephen Rubin ruled that such changes would not be in the child’s best interest …
The people who set this child support apparat on the country often justify its injustices by parroting the line, “men have to support their children”. But this incident, and many similar ones, prove this line is a lie. The men in these incidents were proven not to have fathered these children. The law is just a means to steal money from them and distribute it to the women who have defrauded them, often for years.
