We have a man who meets his daughter at eight year old and finds out that he owes $32,000 in back child support. He got a lawyer in Arizona and they tried to quash the judgment. It was denied. He then begins to pay support and extra for the arrears. The years go by and the guy gets married thinking all is good since he has been paying weekly straight from his check. Out of the blue , a lean is put against his and his new wifes bank accounts. The accounts are frozen with no warning and he is told that he owes $41,000 in back child support. (Guess they forgot to tell him about interest.) To make a long story short, this man that makes an average living has his mortgage go into default, has his passport revoked and may lose his job because of it. (The man needs to travel abroad for his work.)
No Way!! You say? Let me continue.
Let’s look at a little history.. The relationship between the man and the woman was a two night stand, and upon finding that the woman was pregnant, the man said ” I cannot afford to have a child, nor do I want one at this time. There are two choices I will pay for the abortion, or I will stay with you through the birth and the baby is put up for adoption”. The woman then decides that she wants nothing to do with the guy and never wants to see him again.
So now we have two people that have made decisions and yet in todays society, only one counts. The woman has clearly decided to raise a child on her own, so why does this guy have to pay back support? As far as I can see, this guy decided not to have a child.
