Just found out after 19 years that I might have fathered a child but paternity has not been proven. if test shows that I am the father do I have to pay back 19 years child support?

Answer 1

Depending on your state, she can file for up to 18 years retroactive child support. In Michigan, the mother, or a child of the Age of Majority, can file prior to the child reaching age 23. They allow the full 18 year retroactive. In Florida, it must be file prior to the child turning 19, but they have a two year limit on retroactive. Missouri has a five year limit of retroactive. But, even in states with limits, Welfare can override and demand a refund for all benefits provided. In California, they have a full 18 year allowance, plus 20% of the income of a current spouse or S/O can be included in the calculations.

It should also be noted that a man's current two year average of gross income will be used, and not was was earned each of those previous years in establishing retroactive child support.

Take note, that circumstances that brought about the conception is not a consideration in establishing child support. These include:

* The woman impregnating herself with the semen resulting from oral copulation. A Florida Doctor learned this the hard way. * The woman impregnating herself with the semen taken from a used condom. * A woman getting pregnant as a result of sexual activities with an underage boy, than waiting until after the Criminal Statute of Limitation to pass to file a retroactive child support order. * A woman intoxicating or giving a male GHB (Date Rape Drug), along with a large dose of Viagra, in order to have BABY MAKING SEX with him during her peak "fertile window" for the month.

For this reason alone, along with the high rates of paternity fraud, it's very important for men to seriously consider being sexually active, outside marriage, is really worth the potential costs.
