Hi, My name is Jeff and I live in Northern California.
My question is this...
Can a woman with whom you had a verbal contract with for 10 years, turn around and claim you are the father of her child with the State after 10 years have passed to get support from you?
Our contract was basically this: that I would not be a part of this child's life in any way, shape, or form, no financial responsibilities, no contact with the child, etc. She went as far to bring this boy to my Mothers house for daycare (Mom is licensed care provider) and kept this from my Mother during his stay/care of over a year at her home.
I have letters in writing from her stating to "keep out of their lives" etc. dating back to the time before the child was born.
Then she turned around after 10 years of denying me any contact with my alleged son, no bonding, no enjoyment to fatherhood with this boy and turned me in for support collections. I opposed taking the DNA test in court with the Commissioner residing, he judged me the Father by default. Furthermore, there were seven other men that this gal named as Daddy before I was summoned to appear and ordered to test. After the Commissioner's judgment, I filed an opposure to him acting as discretionary over my hearing. In California it is Form FL666, (that is really the number) this is to request a Judge to preside over your hearing instead of the Commissioner. I never agreed to have a Commissioner act as discretionary in my hearing. I filed papers with the court several different times on different motions, etc. and they were either returned to me and never recognized or completely ignored at the hearing. I was not allowed to present any evidence, I was not allowed to face my accuser, I was not allowed to have my motions heard. Soon after the Commissioner judged me Father the county slapped arrears on me and monthly support obligations for this child.
Now, isn't their a morality clause or issue to this effect that can be brought against this woman? Like Infliction of emotional pain or something to that effect? And, wouldn't the County think that maybe this woman is defrauding the State by bringing all these other guys into this as well. When she has told me 10 years ago that the baby was mine. Any help that you have would be greatly appreciated, I do not feel I should be judged Father after missing all the benefits with raising a child after we agreed that this would not happen. ever. I have four boys myself that I have raised from day one as a single Dad. Are the laws not built around "What Is In The Best Interest Of The Child"?
Thank you,
Jeff
