A close friend of mine recently found out he has a 12 year old son from a brief encounter back in high school. The woman never told him about the child and she is now married to someone else that the child calls "dad". For reasons unknown (although I can gue$$), after 12 years of zero contact (he has never left the neighborhood he grew up in and would've been extremely easy to find) she has suddenly decided to sue for 12 years back child support, reimbursement for medical expenses while she was pregnant, reimbursement for any medical bills the child has incurred in the last 12 years, and of course child support from here on out. A DNA test has proven paternity. My friend has no problem supporting his child and is extremely happy to have a son. However, he is angry and devastated that he was robbed of the first 12 years of his child's life. Can this woman be held accountable for what she has done?
