Last year from July till Sept my wife and I were seperated and I had a affair with a co-worker. The co-worker got pregnet and wanted me to give up my rights to the child. I left the job in November and she had the baby in May. I moved back home with my wife and two boys in October. my wife said she would support any decion I made about the child. We went to court in September and are fighting for joint coustdy of the child. Here is the tricky part, the judge ruled that I must pay support for the child based on the income from the job I left in November and was out of work until April. So I am behaind in support dated back to May of $628 per month total of $3200 dollars. I know I will pay for my child that I help make and bring into this world, but that seems unfair. anybody know a good lawyer in Virginia.

I ended up con giving up my rights. In Virginia you can't give up rights unless in jail or on drugs.

Sadly there are many judges like that out there. Then again, it's you obligation to maintain a job and help support your child. Your excuses don't negate the childs needs. Your back payments will help your child.

See what happens when you play around. If you had just held out while seperated from your wife, and worked on your marriage and not this chick, then you wouldn't be in this boat, now would you?
