Fathers Rights & Child Supportby Anonymous from Florida
Fathers Rights & Child Support: We have a lawyer but I feel like they are just sitting there not doing a thing. Here's the case: Three years ago my nephew was born, the mother told my brother the child was not his. My mother in the year the child was born went to look for him and the boys mother threw her out still swearing the child was not his, and then the boys maternal grandmother called our family swearing the same thing. Almost 3 yrs later we saw pictures of him and he looked identical to my sisters child, My brother took action and had to do a paternity test to prove it was his, she still saying it wasn't my brothers. Now its proven its his child and now we get two nights and my brother has a new family with a few month old child. The magistrate recently told my brother this: My brother must pay her $600 in child support and pay over 23000 in what would have been child support (she denied him the right to begin with), he has no holidays (not even fathers day), child does not get his last name, and he has to put life insurance in the mothers name, the boy can only go to the Dr she chooses even if its not under his insurance. My brother girlfriend (has baby with and living with) can not watch the child, but the mothers boyfriend can watch the child (this is in the custody act). She lied directly to the magistrate about her work life (said she didn't work, then was question how she paid bills and then answered that she worked for her mother but in summer took off to spend time with kids and so magistrate said how do you maintain yourself then and she was quite). My brother is the only one currently working (850 every two weeks), rent is 800 a month, has to pay other bills, plus he has a baby, how is that fair not only to my brother but his infant child, is it even allowed, what can we do? This whole thing sounds fishy to me! Plus she has a history of doing this, her other child is same case, she has her mother's last name and limited time with father, plus a lot of support paid to her. Sounds like she doesn't work because her bills are being paid for.  Answer to Florida Court Forms Child Support Question Dear Anonymous, See These Related Florida Child Support Pages Back to Top |
