In my humble opinion if my freedom is on the line for failure to pay a bill, a woman's freedom should be on the line for making a fraudulent claim!

If a mother refuses a paternity test then a Judge should immediately stop all payments from the alleged father.

Why not make it a FELONY?!?! A misdemeanor is not going to discourage paternity fraud!

Paternity should be established by law before you can put a man’s name on the birth certificate, married or not.

This needs to be federal law

The government didn't know that he was in prison, but they knew when he got a job after he got out of prison.

A bill needs to pass requiring mandatory DNA 🧬 testing at birth..

He needs to file a lawsuit against the State,The Mother, and the Process Server.

Just start naming the governor and key lawmakers and you will see a law get passed real quick to get them off the hook

Men are alone out here when it comes to the child support scam

it should be a felony, not a misdemeanor Also, the process server should who lied should pay the child support

Seems to me that they need to get at the root of the problem. Have mandatory DNA testing before issuing a birth certificate.

America seems so backwards. How do you charge a man for being the father of a kid, when the kid isn't his.

"would protect men from having to pay for another man's child" Note how even here the language places total emphasis on the actual father and not the mother who perpetrated a fraud. Women are NEVER held accountable.

It's so unfair to force a man to pay for a child that's not his! So glad something's finally being done about it. As a matter of fact, any woman that knowing collected $$$ should be ordered to pay it back! Right is Right, Wrong is Wrong!

Its disgusting , And I've seen some courts try to vilify the man for trying to leave finding out he's not the father I saw one video of a female judge who ruled in his favor but said "Its a shame that a man is willing to bastardize a child over the situation" I'm thinking your talking to the mother right? Who knew but the mother!!!

How the hell isn't it ALREADY Perjury to lie when serving LEGAL documents while being PAID by the COURTS?!?! I mean come on your already defrauding the courts by saying you have served something when you didn't as they are PAYING you to do this!!! therefore it's already illegal and should not need a bill to pass to acknowledge. I mean is it not the responsibility of the courts to make sure their employees are doing what they are supposed to? Any other company trying this crap could not get away with it. He should have sued the Server and company for at least tripple the damages that this lie has cost him. And if it can be proven that he was never served no court should be allowed to say he still owes the money as he never got a fair trial, they may want to say that the time period to object is gone, kind of like a statute of limitations, but the fact that the crime is ongoing means that should not apply.

The system doesn’t care about the father, I lose 40 percent of my income to the state and the feds

The law in Michigan is typical of the hypergynocentric West. Paternity fraud is legal in most of the United States.

This bill needs to go through! This man was done wrong all the way around and those lying case workers need to be penalized too!

Not just him, millions of other men has been gutted by the system!🤔

This has been needed for decades. Many men have been stuck paying for someone else's children. Paternity test should be required.

So....we are not gonna put a clause in there to charge women with fraud and give them felonies?? Great job on giving them passes yet again!!

Great job bout time will cut down on lies

This happen often. Men should rise up against this gynocentic atrocity.

Almost one third of the men paying child support are not the father. This is criminal. These women should go to prison for 20 years.

The child support system sucks

The Bill doesn't go far enough, paternity needs proof from birth date onwards

you want these laws changed quickly? start having women claim millionaires and billionaires as the fathers of their children. or politicians. that'll get her done.

This need to be federal law. Why is this great injustice perpetrated against innocent men? National statistics suggests that an average approximately 20% children are fraudulently assigned to an unsuspecting man, in some counties it's as high as 75%.

There is no group that is discriminated against as much as men.

Let me see if I understand this correctly, if a man doesn't pay child support it's a felony and will be put in jail/prison but when a woman knowingly lies to the government about who the father of HER child is it's only a misdemeanor!!? Who came up with this law, a feminist or simp?

It's weird that you always hear about deadbeat dads, but never about deadbeat moms. Deadbeat moms are the only source of children in our over filled orphanages and foster care facilities.

At least you know who’s the mother. Get her to support her children.

Feminists need to be put in jail for this

I find it amazing that our court system can't use common sense when it comes to these things. I mean come on.

I'm surprised the govt cares enough to even try. There is hope.

Before there were no DNA test. Now there is. Pass the Law

How about not requiring a name if the mom doesn’t know who the father is? This is dumb to begin with

Make it a Felony!!! Harsher penalties for lying !!!

Crazy how we have to make a bill, for something that is just plain stupid and illogic in the first place. Only in America (USA). 🙆👋😤

My ex brother in law took my sister to court once her youngest of 5 turned 18. She had claimed all of the kids were his, only the 2 oldest were his and we all knew this. The last 3 all have different dads. My sister only would claim her ex husband owed support. Every state she moved to I would report her for fraud. She gave all the kids to my family members and was still accepting child support. She hid his kids from him and more. My sister flipped her mind when I gave a statement against her for her ex husband to prosecute her. She shouldn’t have tried to punish and ruin him the way she did. She was mad when the judge stopped all “rear” garnishment, told her how horrible of a person she was, and more. My nieces and nephews all know the truth finally and my ex brother in law has a rebuilt relationship with his two biological children.

This needs to go nationwide.They should then prosecute the moms,their lawyers,and legislators for this.

I'm beginning to understand why America gave up on Michigan decades ago.

Under these laws a woman can name the richest man she knows to get child support, then the man has to go through the process of disproving his paternity. What a fiasco. System needs to go down.

I'm happy they're passing this bill. Especially for those man suffering the consequences. The question is why do they need to pass laws to prevent this type of injustices?. What ever happened to right and wrong. The battle to righteousness and "Justice"

About time. I had this happen to me 15 years ago when there was no recourse. I got lucky, paternity tests should be mandatory.

France ban paternity test. Since 30 - 50% of child father are supporting which they think as their child isn't even their child

THIS CRIME SHOULD BE A FELONY !!!!!!!!

First time I've seen an all male pannel on TV in a long time

If a man could go to prison, shouldn’t a woman risk the same thing? Where are all the feminist with their marches?

A misdemeanor is basically a slap on the wrist. But if a man doesn't pay he goes to jail for 6 months.🤦‍♂️

If you can be jailed for refusing to pay child support for SOMEONE ELSE'S child, why doesn't THE ACTUAL BIO-DAD go to jail for not paying either??? These laws would change OVERNIGHT if women started naming senators/congressmen as the father...

DNA is used to solve crimes. So why not use it to establish (truthful) paternity. We've got television shows and production companies making plenty of money based on this very subject.

I totally agree with what the men are saying in the comments. The mother should be put in prison, It should be a felony charge and she should have to pay back all the money that she took!!!

The overwhelming majority of women are happy with the laws on the books. All a man can do is avoid them like the plague.

Wow!!! This needs to be a Federal Law

In Washington DC a man with my name was being searched out for child support. They came to my house 3 times and I went to them with my SS#, birth certificate, driver's license, and demanded they get it straightened out or I would sue them. They took me in the office to check the records and they didn't have any information on the man in the database except his name, age and basic description which was younger, shorter, 50 lbs lighter and with tattoos that I don't have. They stopped bothering me but the level of stupidity was unbelievable. They will try to find a man to take the fall for a woman's bad choices in men if they can.

Absolutely disgusting...hope he gets all the help he needs...AND...name the mother..!!

This is sickening. His ex obliviously reported him knowing that he is not the father. That excuse she had that she needed to get welfare. Wicked woman

This is just a message to all the men out there. If you meet a woman and she tells you she's from Detroit, turn around and run for your life. 🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽

Already hearing Feminist saying something along the lines of "you taking away our rights" 🤔

Another example of the great work government does. I got an idea!💡 Let’s put the government in charge of our hospitals!

A misdemeanor? Fraud like this against men needs to be a felony.

women in america must be hating this !

Paternity tests should be required before child support is awarded. Test to be paid by the court and recouped by billing the man if he is the father, and the woman if not, plus some admin fees.

How is it NOT common sense that DNA testing should be "mandatory" at the birth of a child, AND before the signing of the birth certificate? You are NOT the father. #I'm not a lawyer

Why aren't these women told they have to pay back ALL the money the falsely accused man was forced to expend due to their lies? Can only imagine the whining, complaining and tears when they have their lives wrecked due to their lies!

Why is that not a Felony because of the amount of money a man will pay for a child that is not his?

About damn time!! hopefully all the other states will follow suit.

This Nation will continue to embarrass itself... you have to actually have legislation to prevent something like this

The woman that lied needs to be charged and convicted of a felony and sent to prison for 15 years, period.

This is a heartbreaking situation. I'm going through the same exact thing and I don't know what to do.

*A misdemeanor? Fuck that!*

Sounds more like the bill needs to focus on the courts, rather than the people involved. They need to create a process where the person can, at any time for any reason, petition to have the child support order invalidated because they find out that they are not the actual father. Establishing paternity should be automatically required in order for the court to proceed.

I couldn't imagine abusing children like that. Women who commit paternity fraud should be thrown in prison and sterilized

It should not be a misdemeanor!! Make it a felony period!!

The process server is probably the real dad.

A misdemeanor? Falsely ripping off a man for $200,000 in 18 years of payments should be at least a C Felony.

Someone needs to put the Koch brothers on the birth certificate. That law will be changed in about 30 seconds.

YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER ! LOL.

Damn, 33% of women lying about who their real baby daddy is

Man on the hook for 130k, will go to prison if he doesnt pay. Woman, if deliberate deceit is proven, gets a speeding ticket. God bless America. But men can just take what we can get at this point.

These cases are frequently higher now than before.

Let’s see her pay a refund while behind bars. If a man could be expected to do it shouldn’t a woman be too? Oh no feminist marches for this.

It's 2020, all babies should DNA tested!

“Destroys lives” also “only a misdemeanor” even though the man can spend years in jail if he cannot pay the mafia child support. Should be a felony with 100 years in prison or execution.

VVomen who commit paternity fraud should be prosecuted for a felony.

The fact that they need to pass a bill just to stop the courts from doing this is sickening. And did you know that after you have been deemed the father, only the mother has the right to put a stop to the child support.

Yes good, now women will have to be responsible with who they sleep with. The free ride is over ladies. Choose wisely or suffer.

Yes! Finally justice! They also have to provide the right to take DNA samples from any of her lovers to find the father. And charge the mother for lying!

It should be a felony.

Why don’t they ever name the women on these instances? It has to be public knowledge so it’s not like they’re releasing privileged information.....

Ok the law is a good start but 2 things wrong with it. 1- If the action of paternity fraud can ruin someone else’s life It should definitely be a felony with jail time not a misdemeanor. 2- it’s worded if the mother knowingly puts a false name when it should just be If the mother puts the wrong name period. All this is going to do is have mothers claim they thought x-person was the father and without a dna test that puts the victim(false father) with burden of proof that the mother lied. All a mother would have to do is say they slept with that person even if they hadn’t and a lawyer would have to prove that she lied which is near impossible. It’s worded in a way that encourages legal debate. It doesn’t help victims it helps the accusers.

A f****** misdemeanor a misdemeanor doesn't even have jail time attached to it! If a woman falsely claims that a man is a father to extort money from him and to extort money from the government then that should be a felony that should serve a minimum of five years in prison for that especially when you ruined this man's life all the last Thirty f****** years the bit should be thrown in prison for 30 years and should have to pay every bit of that $30,000 back to that man with interest

It being a misdemeanor doesn't go far enough. This destroys lives! It should be a felony!

Hmmm the women in these situations should be ashamed of themse.Sickos

Yep, lookit that darn "Patriarchy". So obviously oppressing women. _Obviously_

I used to work with foster kids and I was sitting in an Oregon court room- and in another case before the one I was testifying in came up. A man was challenging child support as the kid was not his- the court ruled against him saying the damage done to the child by stripping away child support outweighed the financial burdens done to the dad. The case I was called to testify in and I watched in horror as the same judge awarded custody to a drugged out sex performer with felony convictions, misdemeanor convictions, living in a rv, fresh out of jail and with abuse allegations against her over her son, the boys dad who was a hard working married general contractor with no criminal history, nice house and stable lifestyle got one weekend a month and ordered to pay child support. I lost all hope in the legal system on that day and I moved away from Oregon the following year. This was in 2002 This same system made national news after several kids died in foster care. CPS can take a portion of child support, especially if the child goes into the foster care system. The courts did not view men as anything but money cows.

As the 2LiveCrew says..... "don't be blamed for a child that's not yours".... so true... so very true!
