fraud

What is the name of your state? now line in NV divorced in OHIO
My son's father wants to sue several members of my family for 100,000.00 each by fraud! His statement was the I and my husband at the time verably agreed that if we could adopt my son that he would not have to pay child support from then on. So he just assumed we had adopted him. I do not remember that agreedment. I do remember asking if we could adopt my son and was told by him he did not want that to happen. My son was never adopted by my husband and his father never paid any support after this question was ask of him. He think that if we were not going to adopt him we should have call him and told him this. But said he would now that my son is over 18 would be glad to help him. He was nver contacted by the court about any adoption what so ever and he would have to had signed over his rights to us for that anyway. Now that I want the back support owed my, he said he can sue for fraud.
Any help!
Thanks

hi taz,

im not an attorney but it sounds to me like this guy is full of it. In order for you and your current hubby to legally adopt your son the bio dad would have to sign over parental rights. If he never did that and failed to make sure he was no longer legally responsible for his son then i would think any court of law would tell him thats his own fault and that he is responsible for the arrears owed to you. It just doesnt sound right, this guy is sueing your family for 100k, because he was to lazy to keep on top of whether he had rights to his son or not? I just dont see this going in his favor.

Thank you! I have talked with several people lawyers and others about this. They have told me just about the same. He can not sue me in TX, he would need to come to the state I am living in anyway. He just wants me to stop trying to get the money he owes.

He's so full of his own sh*t he doesn't realize it. He owes the back support, money that could have gone to savings for your son's education. He's trying to sidetrack you and bluff you into thinking that if he threatens to sue, you won't sue for fear of him having a case. But he doesn't. And I'm sure he knows it, and that your son was never adopted by the better man. He just doesn't want to pay.
