My state scammed me

[Drenalin]

So when my baby was born my state offered me a free paternity test. I was already certain this was my baby, but I figured hey why not. It's free & it will shut up anyone who has doubt, given that the pregnancy situation was a mess. My girl lost her marbles when she became pregnant. Anyway I requested the free paternity test & obviously it was proven I'm the father.

Here's where the bullshit starts. Now my state is demanding I pay child support for my child that I'm already supporting. No one has ever even mentioned child support other than the state. And we aren't getting any government assistance at all. My girl has already said if they do force me to pay child support, she'll just give that money right back to me. Either way it's still fucked up that the government is forcing me to pay child support for my baby which I'm already supporting. Makes no sense.

Lesson learned. If your state offers you a free paternity test, tell them to fuck off. If you have any doubt, pay a private company to do the paternity test for you. Don't get scammed like I did. Now I'll have to hire an attorney & fight this in court. Big waste of time & money.

I wouldn't say we were quite at the Maury level, but yeah I probably would've been better off making up some crazy shit so they would do a paternity test for me.

Why would you double pay child support? I mean if you're being forced to pay child support then instead of giving her a check and then paying the child support just pay the child support to make things less complicated. I mean if you want to pay more then the child support then fine but it makes no sense to pay 2 separate times.

I'm not actually giving her money. We are raising our child together. When my baby needs something I just go buy it. We even have a joint bank account. It makes zero sense for the government to actually take my money out of my paycheck. I guess it's not really that big of a deal being that they would take that money & deposit into our joint bank account.

Point is the government has no fucking right here to control my money.

So any father who isn't married has to pay child support? Seems like a scam to me

 

[cobrinski]

It's a win-win situation,for her!

What state are you in OP?

 

[JAEGERX]

holy shit, that is fucked up brother, is there any chance you can get rid of the child support? it seems like an unnecessary redundancy at this point since you are present to support your little one.

still fucked up though

[Fugazy]

Gov't efficiency in a nutshell.

I'm going to schedule a meeting with the case worker. Me & my girl will both go in & explain the situation. My buddy told me him & his girl weren't wanting child support, but the state still made him pay. I think she was getting government assistance so their situation was different.
