Why don women who commit paternity fraud get rewarded with money rather than go to jail for fraud?

Question

When women lie about who the father of a child is to extract child support, the man has a short period to challenge her claim or he will be forced to pay child support until the child is 18, even if DNA evidence proves he is not the father. But aren't these woman committing fraud by lying about who the father was? She should go to jail for stealing money from him with lies, instead of being rewarded with "child support" for a child who isn't his, which considering what kind of woman she is, is probably mainly "mommy support." If a man commited similar fraud against a woman, he would probably go to jail.

No, women who do that in America don't go to jail. Instead they get child support until the kid is 18.

I didn't lie, I spoke up about an important issue. I wasn't accusing women of lying, but discussing fraud by certain individual women who happen to be liars.

It's also odd that Baba still accuses me of lying when I posted a source that proves my point (in the forced labor post).

Answer 1

To my knowledge women who do that DO go to jail or at least do NOT get the money. However, the child is the loser unfortunately.

Answer 2

I don't know if it is intentional fraud on women's part however if there is no parternity test done and a man pays child support but then decides he wants a paternity test it will be given, and if it turns out the child isn't his it doesn't matter how much support was paid the mother just gets to keep it it is considered a "gift" in Ohio where my husband is from, plus maybe the woman doesn't know who the father is or doesn't want to admit that she is a ho who slept around so she tries man after man if they are dumb enough to pay without a peterntiy test well then who's to say who is lying or not, now on the other hand if you are married to someone and they have a baby you should be able to assume that they are your baby, so.........you end up having to et a divorce a while down the line...have to pay child support...but then oh guess what they aren't really your kid oh well "gift" money as they call it....it is very sad but it actually happened to my husband he was paying for two years before finally getting her ordered to take a paternity test, and he loves the child a lot and wished that it was his, but on the other hand the child has a right to know who their dad is especially when they are now divorced, we still do things with the kid and get them school supplies and clothes and stuff....but they know the truth and the truth is their mom doesn't know who the daddy is......SAD but happens all the time I am sure

Answer 3

Kris, are you saying that women don’t know when they’ve had more than one sexual partner? She either knows, or SHOULD know whether the man she is claiming is the father of her children “is” or simply “might be” the father of her children.
Another item, why would it be more important for children of divorce to know who their real father is (or isn’t)? Don’t all children deserve this most basic information?
If there’s a chance the wrong party is being assessed as “dad”, she’s either lying in fact or lying by omission. Either way, she’s a skanky ho who deserves prison time and restitution with interest.
But you are correct, paternity fraud does happen all the time.

Most states allow a narrow window to contest paternity fraud, from 30 days to two years although some are looking at opening this window a bit. Alaska allows 3 years from birth or from discovery, whichever is latest. Many states still hold to the “assumption of paternity” in that a man married to a woman who gives birth is considered for all legal purposes to be the father of the child. There is legislation going on in many US states surrounding this little-publicized but oft occurring situation. As far as I’ve been able to determine, no woman has ever been sentenced to jail for committing paternity fraud.

Sue B; you are pretty much incorrect. Many states will notify a man that paternity has been charged against him and order him to report for testing within a narrow window of typically 30 days. The fact that the state is so lax in notifying him means that many are never actually aware of it until the order to pay arrives, AFTER the window to protest has passed. Many, such as California, simply send the notice to the “last known address”, which is usually the address the mother supplies.

Teenie: Paternity fraud is not serious? You’re kidding, right?

Ka1227; many men and honest women are doing something. I support all legislation to make paternity fraud a jailable crime and wish to include the fact that withholding the fact that the putative father might not be the father as intent to defraud. After all, a woman knows if it is possible that the man she fingers might not be the correct one.
I also contact my legislative representatives and engage in spreading the word that many men are being made to support other men’s children, which is the reason to put it, not just here, but everywhere. New laws dealing with this are needed, many more old laws need revision and alteration; some need to be invalidated. The more men and honest women are aware of this activity, the more will push for the needed changes.

1. It is only fraud if it is done intentionally in order to deceive or profit. If she truly believed you were the father and wasn't asked if there were any other possibilities, it is not fraud.
2. If at anytime DNA proves it impossible a man is the father, he can no longer be forced to pay support. Only exception is when the man was married to the father at time of birth and signed the birth certificate, accepting responsibility. If proven it was signed due to fraud, this can be overturned anyways.
3. Getting reimbursed for support paid due to fraud is a civil not criminal matter and must be decided in a different court. If fraud is proven, a judgement for reimbursement is ordered, but enforcing this judgement may be blocked while the child is a minor if the mother is still the legal guardian.
4. Women aren't yet prosecuted for it because there are no precedent setting cases at present. Men will have to fight for their rights, just as women have been doing for years.

Answer 5

Women who commit paternity fraud SHOULD be penalized for it. The ones who are "rewarded with money" are getting away with criminal behavior.

What I don't understand is why a bunch of guys complain about it here, regurgitating their pain, instead of taking some kind of action that could change the law. Routine DNA testing would be a good place to start. The ball is in your court, guys.

Answer 6

They get rewarded with money rather than jail because the government, including the courts, has been hijacked by radical feminists via their lapdog politicians. Follow the money trail! She gets money, and the government also gets money, all at "Dad's" expense. See that wallet with legs? Don't let him get away! TACKLE HIM!

Answer 7

"he will be forced to pay child support until the child is 18, even if DNA evidence proves he is not the father".
