Well. Isn't that nice. I suppose the feminist Nazis are quite happy to have the courts doing their dirty work.
Family court isn't about families. It's about voilating the rights of men.

I'd go to jail before I'd pay a dime.

If I were him, I'd fight this one all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Law and justice never met. All the courts are concerned with is the refinement of the law in all its myriad details.
The attempt to perfect rationalism as a legal philosophy was known to be doomed to failure.
Cases such as this are the unavoidable result of the attempt to write laws to cover all situations rather than relying on judgment.
The Greeks knew this back when Athens had only 40,000 people.

AMENDMENT XIII.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
I think this would be the perfect argument.

Probably not.
In Los Angeles, if you are a male named as the father of a child
and you don't respond to a summons for a hearing on the matter...
good chance you'll get a default judgement and end up paying for the next
18 years.
Even if the kid is not yours.

Well, it should. He may have made a stupid decision as a kid, but he shouldn't have to literally pay for it for all those years. This is just flat out wrong. IMO, he should get all that money back too.

They probably have a law on the books that says a judgment based on fraud is an absolute nulity.
They are just choosing to ignore it.
This is a judgment call - a bad judgment call.
In Germany, a couple of dads took their case to the German supreme court on this issue. They lost. The 'dads' had gotten private DNA tests proving they were not the fathers.
The court went as far to say that they thought the fathers should be jailed for a year for getting the private tests done.

A few months ago there was another thread in FR. It was about a woman that asked the father for child support when the kid was 2 years old. The guy didn't even know about the child. Guess what?. He had to pay. Why doesn't the one year rule apply in this case?. If the woman fails to disclose the father in less than one year, then there is no father at all.

If the law supposes that, then the law is a ass, a idiot! If that's the eye of the law, then the law is a bachelor. And the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience. (Mr. Bumble in Oliver Twist)

It's a case of the state having found a sucker to take the rap has no intention of letting him off - because then the state would be paying for a child born out of wedlock.

To: 11th_VA
Does he have any relationship with the child? Has he, Mason, treated the child like his child -- nights at his house, going to the zoo, things like that? Does the child think Mason is his father, because of his, Masons, actions?
If the answer to these questions is no, then he should try to appeal to the State Supreme Court. If, on the other hand the answer is yes, Mason may want to see if his relationship with the child is important enough to continue "being" his/her father.

As I have said many times on FR, we have a system of Laws in America, but we lost Justice many years ago.
