What is the name of your state? GEORGIA
My new husband had a girlfriend 17 yrs ago who ended up with twins that she nvr proved were his. But to avoid court (the support people said "sign or go to jail") he signed. Then yrs later after he married his first wife, had a child & was living on another coast, 3000 miles from girlfriend... She puts her 3rd child on the welfare based support papers. He then starts paying for a child that *definately* isnt his but with only garnishments & no paper work, he didnt know. Now 17 yrs later, with our marriage, my taxes were seized & he's still being garnished. We're looking at $8000 per yr gone. He still doesnt hv proof aftr all these yrs on even the twins. Atty sz, signed papers sz you agree to all of this. I'm upset & girlfriends husband (who raised what he knows as his own kids) is upset his name is on the paperwork. We're out of thousands per yr and I suspect it'll take thousands to retake this thru court... Also, many husbands who have cheating wives end up paying 18 yrs for illegitamates that arent theirs because "the law" sz whomever youre married to at conception is the father & by law, has to pay. What's legal, what's fair? What's the way out?
Girlfriend has agreed to pay for testing and sign whatever papers needed to prove the 3rd one is not my husbands and to test the twins. She also agreed to pay attorney fees and she already paid me $600 personally for tax reimbursment. Seems she's trying to do the right thing. But she's a life long, generational welfare receipiant, she can't afford to pay back the $50,000+ taken over all these years. And won't she and my husband be in trouble for lying to the court about paternity??? The problem is my slow acting husband. He's known for 2+ yrs now that the paper work is wrong but won't lift a finger to change it. We owe $1200 to the IRS over this and even if I file separate this year, they'll take my money over HIS mess. Help.
