This is disgusting…
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CNN) — Francisco Rodriguez owes more than $10,000 in back child support payments in a paternity case involving a 15-year-old girl who, according to DNA results and the girl’s mother, is not his daughter.
art.rodriguez.wsvn.jpgFrancisco Rodriguez is fighting for leniency in his paternity case. "It’s not right. I’m not the father, " he said.
Rodriguez, who is married with two daughters and a son from his wife’s previous marriage, is fighting for leniency. "It’s not right. I’m not the father, " he said at a recent court hearing.
He says he knew nothing about the other girl until paperwork showed up about four years ago saying he was the father.
He now has DNA results that show the 15-year-old girl wasn’t fathered by him. He even has an affidavit from the girl’s mother — a former girlfriend from 1990 — saying he’s "not the father" and asking that Rodriguez no longer be required to pay child support.
Yet the state of Florida is continuing to push him to pay $305 a month to support the girl, as well as the more than $10,000 already owed. He spent a night in jail because of his delinquent payments.
Why is he in such a bind?
He missed the deadline to legally contest paternity. That’s because, he says, the paperwork didn’t reach him until after the deadline had passed.
Jesus freakin’ Cristy. When does common sense come into play here? This poor guy is being gouged by the government for a kid that isn’t even his. The kid’s own MOTHER doesn’t want him paying child support! Just more proof that in America, men get screwed by the courts on a consistent basis. I’m sure this guy isn’t the first dude this has happened to either. I’m just surprised he’s not living in California!

Hi Fransisco.My name is Heather.I have a story for you that is similair.The reason that I am telling all this is to get some help.My husband and I we’re only together for 1 year when I received a call at work that he had been pulled over and went to jail because he had a warrant out for his arrest for not paying child support.He had no idea what the cop was talking about.He never received any paper work,court dates,nothing.Just like you.So this child is 2 years old when this all happens.He goes to court to get this handled and they basically told him that he was stuck with paying this child support without any proof of paternity because he didn’t show up to court.They told him that even if he did get the proof of paternity that it wouldn’t make any difference because it was a default judgement.So now this kid is 12 years old,never seen or talked to her.No communication with the mother at all.Every time we go to court they won’t even hear two words he has to say.Well,just recently they suspended his drivers license because he was behind 2 months,hard times at work and they we’re behind on paying him.So we went to court to try to get it back and they denied him.How the hell is supposed to pay child support if he doesn’t have a license to get to work,or drive to other jobs.Doesn’t make sense.The system is so fucked up.Excuse my language.If you have any suggestions of any sort please feel free to let me know.Oh the big thing is here,he pays $700.00 a month.
