re: Co- worker has been paying child support for five years,just found out the baby isn’t his

I'm not his attorney, but if he were my co-worker, I would tell him to do at least three things, and do them quickly because time is of the essence:

First, he should talk to an attorney ASAP.

Second, he should read RS 9:406

Third, he should strongly consider filing a petition to annul the acknowledgment and institute annulment proceeding by ordinary process in a court of competent jurisdiction upon notice to the other party who executed the notarial act of acknowledgment and other necessary parties including the office of children and family services, child support enforcement section of the Department of Children and Family Services.

Really, you're going to revert to name calling? Say's a lot about who you are I guess.

Maybe I'm wrong on this one, if so, I stand corrected. I'll pull the case to see what the core issues were and what assignments of error were alleged. Without reviewing the appeal I can't really argue against you. However, as you know or should know, the courts always consider what is in the best interest of the child and their rulings generally reflect this. Are you saying the courts will always side with the plaintiff regardless of the circumstances?

he had signed an admission of paternity

I know a guy who married a woman and adopted her child. A few years later she left him for the childs father. Now he pays child support for the child.

I have always said that anyone who is signing a birth certificate should be required to get a paternity test before being allowed to sign. It would cut down on a lot of this shite and cut down on the "what? You don't fricking believe me?" Drama that comes with it

He has one year from knowledge of paternity.

Do you have a cite for this?

For a revocation of a formal acknowledgment?

He is thinking of the 2016 revision to the paternity disavowal by a husband:

quote:

---

The action for disavowal of paternity is subject to a liberative prescription of one year. This prescription commences to run from the day of the birth of the child, or the day the husband knew or should have known that he may not be the biological father of the child, whichever occurs later.

---

Art. 189. Time limit for disavowal by the husband

RS 9:406 was revised in 2016 to remove the 2-year prescriptive period for revocation of an authentic act of acknowledgment.

Yes. Reasons i heard from different court cases is that why should the child go without just because the mom is lacking in morals. Its not the childs fault so why punish the child. Also it will keep a child from being impoverished or it keeps the child off welfare. Besides man 5 years? Dude come on. That IS his child in everything but bloood. Thats why all you men out there need to get that test before you even sign that birth certificate and take them home from the hospital. I think statistics are 3 out of 10 men aint the father of the child they thought was theirs. Personally, to protect the men, i think it should be law requiring some sort of paternity test before you leave the hospital to make sure it is your child.

My aunt was a crack whore, and one day my uncle came home to find her fricking her black drug dealer.

Nine months later she gave birth to a baby boy with dark skin and kinky hair. "Oh you know Joe and his Greek blood," she would tell everyone. "Those Greeks and their dark skin..."

Joe was white as hell. That baby wasn't half Greek, he was half African. Joe still raised the boy as his own; even named the kid Joe Jr. Deep down, somewhere in a place he doesn't like to talk about, he knew that kid wasn't his. Everyone knew.

This doesn't have much to do with the OP, I just like telling stories about my trashy family.

Bad situation all around
