Paying child support when the kids not yours

[afro-elf]

A recent Associated Press story noted the case of Dan Conners, a 39-year-old Californian, forced by court order to pay $1,400 a month child support for a daughter not his own, as he discovered six years after her birth. Similarly, Mr. Carnell Smith of Georgia discovered that the girl he had been supporting was not, as he had thought, his own daughter. Yet he lost an effort to have his child-support order stopped.

Dropping the support orders, they say, will harm the children, who have bonded with the man paying the support, even if he is not the real dad

I think that the latter statement is BOVINE MANURE Let the real father pay. It doesn't mean that the "fake" daddy still won't be around
