Dear John,
How You Can Collect
Child Support From Another
Man For Your Own Child
Follies from the Great
State of Michigan.
Sorry for the recent flurry
of emails, but this is
too delicious to pass
up.
Doug had a child while
married to Irma, but later
learned the child was
fathered by Irma’s lover,
Jim. When Irma divorced
Doug, he was ordered to
pay child support for
the child even though
the court knew the child
was not Doug’s. Of course,
Irma’s adultery was not
a matter of interest to
the court. All of this
is standard.
Later, Irma and Jim moved
in together, along with
the child, and Doug was
still required to pay
child support even though
it was known to all that
the child was fathered
by Jim. This too is standard.
You can see where this
is going. After awhile,
Irma got tired of Jim
and left him and his child.
That’s when it really
got nuts. The court gave
custody of the child to
Jim -- the biological
father – and ordered Doug
to keep on sending that
good ol’ child support
check to Jim -- for Jim’s
own child!!
Because the child support
philosophy is “pay no
matter what,” it can get
pretty crazy out there.
So men, if you want to
collect child support
from another man for your
own child, now you know
how to do it.
