Paternity Suit Reversal
Over 21 years ago a woman in Texas and I worked for the same company and she would track me through the computer system.
Unbeknownst to me, she wanted to be a single mother and, in her mind, I qualified as the most likely candidate for father.
At the time, she was living with a man who had bought their house in her name and she was proud to tell me, she threw him out the day it was paid for.
She became pregnant and, long after I had left the state gave birth.
On her part, the pregnancy was quite deliberate and she had planned how to finance single motherhood.
She hired an attorney to file a paternity suit against me and, before the case came to trial, her attorney was elected District Court Judge ..... and went on to hear what had previously been her own case.
Without being notified there was to be a hearing, either personally or in the newspaper (despite knowing my whereabouts), the judge (ex-attorney) found in favor of the plaintiff as I was not in court to plead my case.
The court neither determined the identity of the biological father nor gave an order requiring anyone take a DNA test.
The woman is still harassing me by having the Texas Attorney General demand money (money I do not have) which has ruined my credit and is doing the same to my business as, the State Dept. refuses to issue me a passport until the money is paid.
Her now 20-year old son has appeared on the doorsteps of my friends, much to their surprise, asking for information about me.
Do I have the right to question the ethics and legality of the court's paternity suit ruling in order to have it reversed?
