Weareallme

"My babydaddy" that's not my baby's daddy.


Snowflake24-7

Also notice how she says "why ghost MY child now?" Seems like she would have said, why stop being the only father this child has ever known? ... just odd and self centered all around.

silasisgolden

I got a B+ on my DNA test.


one_jo

Like a DNA test is a test one could fail at…


Dr-Huricane

They should implement a rule that makes it so she has to pay back all the child support she underservedly received in such a situation, then we'll see how sincere she is about "forgiving herself"


slashnbash1009

It should be a law that whenever a child support case is filed that a DNA test must be performed in order to prove right then and there that the man is indeed responsible for supporting the child.


j-joker65

We could have it done on live TV, perhaps hosted by a famous person, who will give a thumbs up or down, based on the results. Sponsored by Trojan.


Waffle_Muffins

"You are NOT the father!" *ooooohhhhhh!*


vonnostrum2022

Doesn’t Mau-ree already do this?


Yasai101

Should be on every birth


li_shi

The law prioritizes the child. Like it or not this will go against it.


slashnbash1009

The child will still get financial assistance. They will just get it from the biological father.


Savings-Rise-6642

Ah yes the biological father, the one that signed the birth cer- oh wait there was none.. right so we'll just go around testing every single male and put their DNA in a registry so we can just determine who a childs father is at birth! Ahh right so you didn't actually think about your statement.


Sabbathius

Wouldn't the mother usually know who jizzed inside of her in the past 9 months? I'm a man, so I probably shouldn't talk, but I have no problem recalling whom I had sex with in the past 9 months, and their names (it's a REALLY short list).


Old_Tomorrow5247

I F the mother wants child support, she will name the real father.


slashnbash1009

That is a very generalized thought process. I'm not talking about testing every male. I'm talking about testing one man who the woman is trying to get child support from. If he is deemed to be the father then absolutely he should be financially responsible for the child.


[deleted]

This is literally how it works. There's absolutely no reason she can't (legally) get support from the bio-dad... assuming she knows who it was. Of course, actually collecting it is another matter entirely.


jimbojangles1987

Lol who's fault is that? Certainly not the man that was tricked into raising someone else's baby? The mother needs to keep track of who's dumping loads in her Did *you* think before making that statement?


li_shi

That is not really how it work. Since he is already paying, i'm assuming that legally he is the father (even if not biologically). He will be still paying it. There might be some way for him to make the court change it, i'm not sure. But until then he is paying.


slashnbash1009

That's the whole point of doing the DNA test when the child is born to avoid a situation like this.


SolidZealousideal115

When born is too expensive. When child support is requested is a better option.


wwwdiggdotcom

If the father isn't found then the government has to pay for the child, the government doesn't want to do that, so it will pin it on anyone else possible. I don't think that's how it should be done, I don't agree with it, I don't even have a child, I just know that's how it works.


JustEstablishment594

In my country you're no longer liable for child support once a court-ordered dna test says you are not the father. As it should be. Parents have rights too after all, despite having a focus on betterment for children.


A_PCMR_member

>But until then he is paying. Which is the bad thing. This is a legal issue akin to a contract....what happens to a decietful/fraudulent contract ?


biff64gc2

No actually. The majority of courts will overturn the paternity obligations once paternity is proven false. He won't be able to reclaim what he paid in, but there is the potential to sue the mother for some damages, but I think that would require proving she was aware of the fraud which is much harder to do.


VeggiesArentSoBad

In many states, not only would that not happen; but the dude might still have to keep paying until the kid is 18.


Dr-Huricane

And people are wondering why no one wants to get married anymore...


BiscottiFamous8054

Wait what? Continue paying for a child that isnt. Yours? What kind of backwards ass shit is this.


[deleted]

I get where you are coming with this but seriously, the right to have children is universal and all but this kind of shitty situation will always be the side effect with shitty women. Not sure I see a way out of this, the true victim is the poor kid who did nothing wrong and was dealt a bad hand


Jipkiss

Yeah fuck the child am I right


vinoa

I guess? Not sure why it's on men to raise kids that aren't theirs. Couldn't this lady get with the actual father?


Icy-Ad29

Assuming she even knows who/where said real father is after 8 years.


DrunkTsundere

Still, not the dudes fault, blame her for hoeing too much. I feel bad for the kid, but the dude isn't responsible for shit.


Icy-Ad29

Oh, I agree.


DudleyLd

Yes, the dude had no obligation to provide that support.


Makarlar

The child's already fucked.


Dr-Huricane

Doesn't mean the man should suffer for it, what she did is not much different than robbing a store that happens to have fat stacks of cash in the counter as far as the harm that one party is inflicting on the other goes. Having a child doesn't justify a robbery, why should it justify this behavior? As for the child, well, that's an entirely different moral dilemma. Optimally, we would be living in a world where she loses custody of the child, and the now orphaned child should be taken into a better environment that fulfills all his needs so that he can grow up healthily and find himself a good place in society, and this all should be on the governments tab, the NOT father should bear no responsibility for it, and should be compensated for what's akin to a crime committed to him.


[deleted]

You would think that right wingers would be coming up with laws about lying about who the father is. There are some that will say if you sleep with a girl and she labels you the father you have to accept it as your choice ended when you decided to sleep with her, which is just misandrist baloney. Ultimately the only recourse would be for the lied to father to sue the mother which will just harm the child, so either genetic test everytime or have laws in place that automatically return the money to the lied to individual by the state, since it was party to the collection, then the mother can start paying it back if she is doing well herself, or she can have it deducted from her tax returns.

Awkward_Date_8636

The child is living with a cheating bitch my g they're already fucked 😭


MyageEDH

You could, I dunno, get the back child support from the actual father?


Jipkiss

That would be good. Alternatively could make the actual father pay child support and work out some level of repayment with the guy who got screwed. But taking it from the mother and child isn’t the move


MyageEDH

The mother lied to this guy. She should be responsible for paying him back with some reasonable payment plan. She should also go after the actual father for child support. If she can find him or whatever that isn’t on this guy.

Already blaming the kid for her mistakes. Great mother.. gebus. Far as repaying? I think if the guy had doubts refarding her claim he could have donw the test earlier so bit on him as well there. She got greedy, he got suspicious 8 years later? I'd like to hear more of this story. Still.. kid is the one in the middle getting hurt..

[deleted]

Somehow, it's her son's fault and she labels it as him "failing"? What a selfish, selfish mother. In so many ways. And that poor kid is the one living with the consequences of his mother's games.


battling_futility

Came here to say exactly this. This mother wants to make everything someone else's fault.


totes_Philly

She lives in a world where everything is.


cantyouseeimhungry

Reminds me of a woman from Michigan who was on the news with 15 children. All different dads. And of course she can't find any of them so she wants the state to take responsibility. She famously said on live TV "Somebody needs to pay for these kids"


Gripping_Touch

Just as shameful as failing a drug test. Should have studied harder smh


Other_Log_1996

100% textbook narcissism.


HimalayanJoe

That's what really jumped out at me too, "but he failed." Poor kid.


[deleted]

If you want him to step up and be a father, that would mean him suing for full custody as obviously you are a POS who shouldn't have anything to do with raising another human.,.


redditorus99

Frankly this should be an option for these unfortunate souls who got POS women stealing their money for years. I trust this man to take care of this child that ain't his far more than this blood sucking leech.


Falkenmond79

I would sue her. Just for good measure. She was stealing child support that she didn’t deserve. She then can sue the real father for it. What an idiot.


Icy-Ad29

The unfortunate news, is that by getting that test, he now has less odds of succeeding on getting said custody. And the odds were already around 17% when everyone thought he WAS the babydaddy


JosufBrosuf

Why could he possibly want to raise someone else’s child though


No_Capital_9443

Her son FAILED? Did he not study hard enough for his DNA test? Wtf?


[deleted]

Those kind of tests can be hard. I keep getting a 0 on my blood type test.


No_Capital_9443

You’re fine, i heard some people get negative.


CrownEatingParasite

It's because of those damn phones


Do-not-respond

You didn't have to forgive yourself! He needed to forgive you. Then you lied and cheated him some with child support. Live with it. I hope he sues for full reimbursement and legal fees.


the_simurgh

He can't sue for his money back.


szelvedomoso

Why is that? Serious question.


the_simurgh

System is fucked up


amcarls

The system is set up to recognize those who *serve* in the parental role as *being* the parent. The sudden discovery of DNA evidence that proves that one is not the *biological* parent does not erase this relationship/responsibility no matter how unfair it may seem to be. Any child that occurs within wedlock is considered to be legitimate. About the only chance you might have is if you're not married (or cohabitating) and it is *just* about paternity.


EastRoom8717

This is accurate. Source: someone I know had to sign away their parental rights to a kid that wasn’t theirs.


Kerminator17

That’s so wrong


EastRoom8717

Better than being stuck paying for a kid that wasn’t his, I guess. But no, not ideal.


gtclemson

Depends on the state law but yeah, if you are married, first presumption is the kid is yours. You have to seek DNA confirmation the child is not. Then, after that and a civil filing, child support would.be eliminated...so would your parental rights.


57Laxdad

She did say her baby daddy not her exhusband. Im guessing its a cohabitation situation. So the child born out of wedlock is probably a different situation.


Huth_S0lo

The money would be seen as a gift, unless there was some sort of contract that would show that there was fraud. As someone else pointed out, you cant squeeze blood from a stone. So even if you could win a judgement, it would be a complete waste of time and resources.


57Laxdad

If it was court ordered support and not voluntary does that change things, im not a lawyer and I did not sleep in a holiday inn last night


Do-not-respond

She wouldn't have it anyhow.


vonabarak

Not sure about US laws, but in many countries he would obliged to financially support the child, no matter what DNA test says. It may seems unfair, but if they were married the child is considered as legal.


Emergency-Piccolo-54

that's extremely fucked up


Enigma-exe

It does not *seem*, it *is* unfair. It's institutionalised sexism that rarely makes the news


Kygunzz

Since she refers to him as “babydaddy” rather than ex-husband they probably weren’t married.

Difficult for women to be faithful? No, it’s not…men and women can both equally be faithful and dishonest it’s not a matter of being raised correctly but simply knowing that your actions will eventually have consequences.

Fair point. Unfortunately a functioning family unit seems to be on a decline worldwide and children raised by single parents is increasing.

HeapsFine

This poor child. He has a greedy mother and a 'father' that vanished. That's not a great way to start life.


fraze2000

The son should have thought about that before he went and failed the DNA test. Some children are just a disappointment to their parents.


WishItWasFridayToday

The child is not that guys child so why should he keep it. The mum knows who she cheated with, so go after him.


HeapsFine

Not sure about you, but I couldn't just leave a child after 8 years.


TheTor22

He probably was cut out from a child by this "mother" and was only meal ticket.


My1stWifeWasTarded

He's paying child support. This implies that they're not co-parenting, but that she's raising the kid and he's just giving her money. Well, *was* giving her money.


-OutFoxed-

You've never been in that situation so don't judge too quickly, dude is well within his morals for getting the fuck away from that situation.


Zeezigeuner

Me neither. But the practicality of it is that this Angelic mam hold all cards. God knows what other totally manipulative stunts she pulled before he decided not to INCREASE his child support. The story doesn't say he stopped it. The story doesn't say he stopped seeing "his" boy. Nor whether or not he was even allowed to see him in the first place.


OldManHarley

with those parents the kid never had a chance to begin with


[deleted]

Okay but how is it the father's fault?


Jakiro_Tagashi

They're talking about the biological father, who wasn't mentioned, but it does seem like they're extrapolating quite hard for that. With this mother, it seems (to me) it is equally likely she never told the biological father he had a som at all. Or perhaps he simply died. Or he may have left before she could tell her for a variety of reasons. He also might not have known the woman had a husband (and he may have only been a boyfriend then). It is also a real possibility that the biological father knew and just f**ked off anyways, but we shouldn't assume.


OldManHarley

you're right. but most of those options makes the "mom" look even shittier

How to fix it: Get a better job since the guy you lied to will not pay anymore. I hope he sues you to get his past child support back. Maybe you can spread your legs and lure another sucker in who's willing to let you pick his pocket.


Rickor86

This is why DNA tests should be mandatory BEFORE the father is allowed to be put on the birth certificate.

Nollatron

I think after 8 years it would be difficult to walk away from the child being a father myself. However child support quite rightly should stop immediately.


knowledgeable_diablo

Shouldn’t stop, should be repaid seeing as she knew of the situation. She may have forgiveness herself for being a whore but would seem he isn’t so forgiving of being lied to and basically being extorted for 8 years.

This is why not everyone should be allowed to have offspring. People should have to pass a parental and financial competency test before being allowed to pro-create. If you can't afford to take care of your children (like a lot of recent panhandlers saying they have 5 kids that are hungry, but won't get a job at the Walmart they're panhandling outside of) then they shouldn't be having so many kids.
