Today, a man was ordered to continue to pay child support on the child that is biologically not his. The motion for child support was made while he was on active duty in the Gulf, and he could not return to fight the order. He petitioned JAG for help, but the Naval Legal office is only allowed to enforce CS orders, after they are in place, not to fight a new order. As a result, a default order went into effect, and his wages were attached for an amount based on his civilian income levels, prior to active duty. This came to 70% of his net income. Upon his return, he tried to get a blood test motion made, but was turned down because once an order is in place, it cannot be overturned under any circumstances, except one. If he challenged for custody, she could prevent the challenge by stopping the CS order, but only if she is not collecting welfare. Only one state has passed laws to allow for an overturn on a child support order for non-paternity, Maryland.
