Man jailed for not supporting someone else's child
ADEL, Ga. – A Georgia man spent more than a year behind bars for failing to pay child support for a child that wasn't his, but he was released after DNA tests showed he wasn't the father.
Frank Hatley, 50, had been jailed since June 2008 for not making payments, but two separate DNA tests in the last nine years showed he was not the father of the boy, who is now 21. Southern Center for Human Rights attorney Sarah Geraghty won Hatley's release at a hearing Wednesday in Superior Court. A court order has also relieved him of his financial obligation to the Georgia Department of Human Resources. "State child support officials have shown extraordinarily poor judgment in Mr. Hatley's case," Geraghty said. Although Hatley was freed from making future payments after a 2001 hearing, Superior Court Judge Dan Perkins had ordered him to continue making $16,000 in back payments. He paid $6,000 of that before being laid off from his job. Perkins ordered Hatley's immediate release Wednesday after determining that he was indigent. Although he was released, Hatley's paternity case is still unresolved. No future hearings are scheduled. "Out of it all, I just feel like justice should be served for me in this case," Hatley told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shortly after his release. "I shouldn't have to keep being punished for a child that is not mine." Hatley had a relationship with Essie Lee Morrison, who had a baby in 1987 and told Hatley the child was his, according to court records. The couple never married and split up shortly afterward. In 1989, Morrison applied for public assistance through the state Department of Human Resources. Hatley agreed to reimburse the state because he believed the boy was his. Documents show Hatley paid at least $9,500. But in 2000, DNA samples showed the two were not related, according to court records. A test earlier this month confirmed that. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090716/...ngfully_jailed |

I've dated plenty of single moms and had no problems. It's the single ones with no kids who are itching to have a baby that you have to worry about.

Child Support Services doesn't care who pays the bill, as long as someone pays it...
A number of years ago, a cop pulls into my driveway behind me, hands me a stack of papers, and says that someone is claiming I was the father of her child. Told me I had 30 days to respond, or they would start garnishing my wages. Looking over the papers, this woman lived in Iowa (I live in MN), and claimed she had a one-night stand with someone by my name (which is a common name). There was also a description of the guy, which would only describe me if they stopped after "white male". I had a lawyer friend help me out, and he mentioned that these things can get really nasty. If they tag you as the father for any reason, getting out of the payments is extremely difficult, and getting money back for past payments is pretty much impossible. In the end, I ended up sending a photocopy of my driver's license to Iowa Child Services, and the chick confirmed I wasn't the guy. At that point, I'm sure they moved on the next random guy with my name they could find in the midwest... Oh, and this was just a couple months after I got married. Good times... |

Put them in jail so they can't raise the child so the state has to do it? What did she do anyway? She whored around. If people want to talk about sterilization programs, that's fine, but what else are you looking for? |

I'm through dating women who have to find a sitter to watch their kid everytime you want to see them. It gets to be a pain in the ass and I'm done dealing with them. Plus I'm not paying for somebody elses mistake.

I seriously think I would go on a shooting spree. What a load of BS.
