No your right, its NOT the childs fault. But its also not his fault that he never knew the child existed. Its also not his wife's fault or the other 4 children whom he had. And that he had due to thinking he had no other children. If he had been notified or ordered to pay this support from the begining maybe that would have been taken into consideration as far as how many children they would have had or whether his wife was a stay at home mom.
Funny, child support managed to tell his wife that after she had the baby, she could quit being a stay at home mom w/ her children and get a job but didnt bother to tell the welfare mother to get a job. Funny how the system works. Why is it ok for one parent but not the other?
