Can you get a Refund if the child you support isn't really yours?

i have a co-worker that is divorced from her husband and he has custody of their children. Her son who is 17 has not been in school for the last year and his father knew this and dropped him out of school. she has been paying child support for this child over the last year and did not know he was not going to school. My question is is there anything that She can do through LegalZoom to get her last year of payment on that child back or how does she go about terminating that portion of her child support payment to the husband.

CAN I FILE A LAWSUIT AGAIST A.G OFFICE FOR MANY DIFFERNT REASONS

I was notified by forwarded mail to take a paternity test from the state of Oregon in 1990 while working in Anchorage, Alaska. I responded by phone and spoke to a representative immediately. I explained that I did not sleep with the woman within 2 months of the conception date and asked to take a paternity test in Alaska. I was told there were not any labs in Alaska that were recognized by the state of Oregon. I then asked how to go about resolving the issue of paternity, and was told that I needed to make it to Oregon. I told the representative that I would be back in Eugene, Oregon in September to attend Lane Community College. The man said that I would be within the timeframe to still take the test. I arrived in Eugene in September as agreed and found that they filed with the court in my absence. I was told it was too late. My checks were garnished and I was broke.I paid for a paternity test that says 0.00 probability of fatherhood and submitted it to 7 or 8 caseworkers and supervisors, nothing happened but sorry we know its a mistake. The states administrative law judge overturned it but now the state denied validity because he was not a circuit court judge. Still struggling financially and state is coming after me. Woman admitted to me it was wishful thinking that I was the one in '91 and to caseworkers since '98. I dont have lawyer money, I have a child of my own and I struggle to put him #1. Any ideas?

My son turned 18 years of age on October 28, 2004, and graduated from High School in May of 2005. Child support was withheld from my pay until i requested termination of support by the Court in January 2005. 7 months of of Child Support was overpaid and not returned. Can i get that money back? It was $1000.00 per month for a total of $7000.00.

Thank You,

I'M GETTING MARRIED TO A MAN, THAT HAS TWO KIDS. MY HUSBAND TO BE PAYS CHILD SUPPORT ON TIME FOR HIS KIDS. MY
QUESTION, WHAT IF HE GETS SICK, OR INJURRED, WORST YET; HE CAN NO LONGER WORK, AND IS UNABLE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT. AS A WIFE, WILL THE CHILD AGENCY DEEM ME RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING CHILD SUPPORT FOR HIM?

If a female knows that more than one person could be the father of her son and she just picks the guy she knows would be a great father and don't tell him that he may not be the father.So the guy signs the bc thinking he is the father but DNA now 5 years later saying he no... can he get all his support back and can he sue her for taking the money under fasle pretenses because she knew there was others that could be the Father there should be a law that you have to tell anyone that could be the father this guy is heart broken

If your not the father.
Then isn't it fraud, the mother faslified alegal document. The money is being taken under false pretense. So why would you still be liable? That makes no sense.

If you are found not to be the father. Then why isn't it fraud, the mother falsified a legal document, the support is being taken under false pretense. How and why would you still be responsible or liable for the support?

Good Day,
19 years ago my husband and I seperated and I had a relationship with another man. My husband & I got back together and a few months later I found out I was pregnant. My husband signed my sons Birth Certificate and we lived as one big happy family with our 2 other sons. Years later we divorced and my husband had to pay child support. Now many years later, my youngest son found out that someone else may be his father.

If I have a Paternity test done and it proves that the other man is his biological father, will I be responsible to re-pay the child support to my ex-husband from years ago??? If it helps I live in Illinois..

Please Help!!

BULL if you find out its not yours you do not have to keep paying child support.....!!!!! I know this for a fact!!!

I keep readimg how so ppl say suck it up and get on with being a parent an raise your child. First off I raised my child and paid childsupport with no regret as of this day she will always be my child. My resentmernt is now after 25 years of her knowing there could be another father it was that my daughter wanted to know and made her mom get the DNA test which now shows im not the father . Now you tell me how I am supposed to feel. Your whole world gets ripped from you years later by some money hungry B--- so called mom. The living hell I went through with her garnishing wages with the fact I won in court because I payed my support an did so till the last day but she had the court involcved when in fact child support was always payed but that still didnt end her nagging for money even tho court was payed the money and if she didnt get it she was on my tail about it causing problems but now but all I could say was go to the court an get I payed . Just seem like I should have the right to sue her butt for false pretense like Tom stated above the whole time I was being the responcable dad she sits back an collects my life savings for someone else to be scott free of there responcabilities an now will start getting the pleasure of a child that they didnt have responcability for .. I always will stay her father and she knows this but I sure as %^$%^ would like to bring a no good mom,dont want to say on her how I really think of her but all in all its not fair to neither of us that she live her life as nothing happen and gained all the money as im sure she used on her behalf some of it. As she was married 2 more times after our divorce. Thanks lady for bringing my whole life to a deminishing state now I would have rather not known than have my life smashed at this point. But to my daughter I will Love You Always you are mine.

In the state of MS,Married man has a affair with married woman, child is conceived, Married woman's husband signs BC and takes full responsiblity, Married man seeks paternity and is told that it is his child, and is ordered to pay CS..How is this possible I thought if you were married legally and conceived a child whether it was the husbands or not he was the father. Married man is now paying child support on a child who he really wants nothing to do with does this child have to be adopted by the father listed on his BC? or is he still the childs father legally. If it helps the child is 2yrs old

My friend been married for 2 years now , question is dose her kids father have to continue paying childsupport .Her new husband is now taking full responsibility for her kids, Or do he still have to pay ???

Hello there, i have been with my girlfriend for 6 months, and we did have unprotected bond,then i find out that he was dating a diffrent guy at the sametime, now my girlfriend just had a baby and she saying the baby dady is not me,what should i do?

Yes, it is fraud...but no there's no laws against it. My ex swore I was the only possible father and I stepped up to the plate. Two years and 15-20K later, I am ordered to pay support...though TWO paternity tests have cleared me. The hearing officer wouldn't accept the first one because it was older than 90 days, but refused to court order a test telling me to go pay another 200 for a new test that says the same thing.I work out of town too, so every court hearing costs me a week's pay. I didn't get a lawyer because I've already spent so much and now I'm broke.
Now when it really comes down to it, its all about the kids right? Not in Florida. The child is a year and a half now and her mother (who hasn't worked in two years) can't collect from the real father because the court has been screwing around with my case. If I get a court date soon and am cleared, it will be another year of legalities before she gets paid.
So the mother, who knew there were multiple father possibilities, purposefully conceived and held to a lie, causing irreparable emotional damage to the alleged father, lack of care for the child and a lot of the courts time and money.
Can I sue for the 20K this cost me? Sure, but even if the judge agrees with me I'll never see anything from her.
We need legislation in America for:
1. Requiring a woman to pay for paternity tests...if its positive, the father pays it back along with child support obligation. Women will be less likely to make up fathers if they have to take responsibility for what they do.
2. Affidavit for paternity scrapped. This is a misleading and incredibly damaging piece of paper...when you just cut the cord on your kid you really can't emotionally handle making the decision to sign or not. MANDATORY PATERNITY TEST FOR EVERY ALLEGED FATHER!!!

If a female knows that more than one person could be the father of her son and she just picks the guy she knows would be a great father and don't tell him that he may not be the father.So the guy signs the bc thinking he is the father but DNA now 15 years later saying he is not... can he get all his support back and can he sue her for taking the money under fasle pretenses because she knew that he wasnt the father.

I keep hearing and read the wrong thing about child support and you not able to get the money back, it is only true after a certain amount of time. But if the court made a mistake the first time it was filed it is call neglect by the state and they can fix the problem, they don't want to pay out anyone, but they have to so the way they try to do it is say we will credit you.... I get tired of lawyers saying their is no way, they say the when you file anything, and as people go research the laws and find the law that talks about what to do.

I am serving in the military, and have been paying child support for ohh about 8 or 9 years already. When i first went to court on this issue i was nervous, scared, and anxious. Because of so many people watching your case go on, to say no I am not the father would make me look look a bad guy in court and if i say yes i am i still look like the bad guy. I feel i am not the child's father. I am brown, he is white complected, i have dark brown hair he has blond hair, and my eyes are brown, his is hazel. I know and my gut is telling me to do it, GET A DNA TEST DONE, but dont know where to start that process. Can someone please help me ? lost in IRAQ...

I have a lot to ask, and I need as much help as I can get from anyone willing to lend an ear and give some feedback. Well I am doing some research becasue a family member of mine has a really terrible situation going on... I will try to give as much details, but keep it short. I don't want to say to much and by chance the wrong person crosses this message. Well my brother (now ex military), met and married a girl that he only knew for a few months. She already had a child (a few months old), and of course I am sure sh did everything she could to manipulate and keep him around. Well he loved that child as his own from the minute he met her. OHHH, and now after they get engaged she is pregnant and leads him on to believe it is his.... Well its not. The dates do match up. but now young baby calls him papa and he is hooked. Baby number two is born, and it is clear it is not his at this point, but he still signs the papers claiming parental rights. They make it through a whole year... In the whole year he gets discharged from military, they relocate to a different state, and they move in with his parents. Girl is crazy, abusive to her now 18 month old and 6 month old. She spanks, hits, yells and screams at children. She is rude to his parents, doesnt have any ambition to get a job, go to school, or become a resident of the state they recently move to. Her temper gets so bad that he had to put his wife in a time out and keep the kids by his parents. She decides she needs a mini vacation and buys a one way ticket to "visit" her parents. Well, she knew she wasnt coming back, and told h im she wanted a divorce. He loves the children as his own, and has been the only father to the youngest child, and the older child has not had anyone stable in her life but him. He wants to fight for custody, but it's complicated because these children aren't his biologically. Are there any other similiar cases where father wins custody? Any advice out there? I thought that custody would be depended on "what is best for the child(ren)..." I feel like this shoudl be simple, but I know it never works this way. I feel like he is the best choice, but this will be a tough battle. Please help! Thank you!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 4 years. He cheated on me in the beginning of our relationship with his ex. Shortly after they stopped seeing her she became pregnant and started dating someone else. She never claims my bf to be the dad, but it looks just like him. My bf wants to get a DNA test to make sure its not his but she isn't willing to in fear it may be his but her bf is the one who has been raising the kid for 3 years. What do we have to do to get his name cleared from all of this and be 100% sure the kid isnt his?? I live in CA if that helps at all.

I am in a position where i am engaged to a wonderful man whom pays child support for his 8 yr old daughter who he sees every weekend and has her for the summer. This is fine. The problem is there is another child involved w/a different mother that charges him child support.He does not have any legal rights to this child. The time of the pregnancy does not match up.(He was in jail at the time she admitted to being pregnant) We come to speculate the child is not his but do not have a dna test to prove. This is headache i want to know where and how we can get this "money hugging" mother to take the dna prove the child isn't my fiance's and stop the child support payments that hurt us financially already raising a wonderful 8yr old girl. There HAS to be something he can do. This mother has been married and still refuses to adopt this child into the husbands name and drop support on my fiance who is being thrown around in courts for rearage and having his drivers license taken away cause of rearage not paid. He keeps a monthly payment going out to BOTH mothers and tries his hardest to abide by the courts rules. But this is stressful for me dealing w/a mother who messed around got pregnant and years of putting my fiance through jail and fines in the thousands$$$. Please help guide us to some sort of action we can take for this matter! Thank-you..

My sister has taken in one of my other siters child who is now 15 , 2 years ago a DNA test was done and the we know who the father is and he also knows but refuses to help out, Can my sister as legal gurdian go after him? He told her he does not have to pay and will no help.The courts are back up here for 14 months before they can even evauluate a case and my sister cannot afford all the extra cost. So do we place the child with DHS or is there soemthing we can do to get assistance from this guy. The mother is onthe run from the law and we all stepped in and took her children but hate to see them go back to MN system ty
