DNA test should be required before any child support order is given. Period

The system is so ridiculously stacked against men in domestic court.

Back before DNA testing was available, I once worked with a guy who had previously dated a woman and some weeks after the breakup, she informed him she was pregnant with his child. He told her, “It’s not mine” and hung up. Next thing is that he is slapped with a paternity suit. At deposition, her attorney through his questioning, establishes that there was indeed sex between the two and it was without protection. So, when the woman’s attorney asked why he was so sure the child could not be his, the response was simply, “I had a vasectomy five years ago and was just tested again to make sure it was still affective.

Paternity tests should be mandatory before any man’s name is put to the birth certificate. Paternity should also be considered null and void at the whim of the father if a later test proves a lack of paternity. In that case, damages in proportion to lost money, time, and effort should be paid towards the father.

When I was in the service, had a buddy of mine come home to a kid who wasn't his, divorce papers, an empty bank account, and a pile of unexpected debt. And yes, she still got custody, alimony, child support, and part of his retirement. In what world is such a system legal, just, and fair. Guy was literally deployed to war during conception, and he could prove it, and yet still is still responsible. Paternal fraud is very real gentlemen. Take heed and protect yourselves both physically and financially.

I grew up as one of the children centered around this kind of fraud. My mom got pregnant with me at 19, after having 6 abortions prior. There were several guys who could have been my father. She got one of those men to marry her...became abusive, cheated left and right, sold his work tools for drugs, had the drug dealer she was cheating on him with beat him up. It lead up to him eventually living out his van, getting arrested routinely because my mom would put makeup on to look like bruises and call them on him when he hadn't even been within miles of her. I remember being 4 years old and sitting in court as they brought him out and my mom telling me "Wave at daddy. Wave at him..." I was too little to realize. I only remember this because the way he looked over at us, his face so sad, is what solidified it as a strong memory even 30+ years later. Once he fled New York, vanished off the grid for many years, I was beat for minor infractions, later told in a half assed apology that it was because I look so much like my "Father" that she can't help but get angry whenever she sees my face. I grew up being told at every turn that my "father" didn't love me. Years later when they found him and started taking money off him again my mom would loudly celebrate her check and call it "Desiree support" then go out and buy herself a giant bag of bud and whatever else she wanted. meanwhile, me and the two other siblings that money was supposed to before went around in church donated clothes, ate peanut butter and jelly once a night, and slept on beds with no sheets or blankets. Years later I find out through ancestry that he's not even my father...He didn't want to know the results because for him if I am not it would open up a new wound where he couldn't justify his suffering. I get it, but I feel so bad that this man's life was ruined simply because he tried to do the right thing and marry a girl he thought he got pregnant, and believed for 27+ years that this child, and two others, were his. None of us are. I feel like my existence ruined an innocent man's life and it's a double whammy because I grew up believing he was my father, hearing my mom use my likeness to him as reasoning why she was extra cruel towards me particular. I grew up choosing to NOT believe all the horrible things my mom said about him, that he didn't love me or care about me, because unlike my two younger sisters I remembered him and I knew it wasn't true...then I find out he's not my father... Women who do this crap are horrible and often just as horrible to the children. This man is doing good work. Thank you for not laying down and taking it.

It's fraud and they should be prosecute for the fraud, filing false claims, perjury and so on. Why the court looks the other way is insane.

Mandatory Paternity Testing Long Overdue

I will never understand how it isn’t an immediate cancellation of any payments for a man who can prove he isn’t the father of a woman’s child. It’s infuriating!

I remember listening to this live. Infuriated me then and it infuriates me now.

It makes me sick that over 30% of father's are raising children that are not there's and don't know it.

The law needs to be ... NO MAN'S NAME ON A BIRTH CERTIFICATE WITHOUT A POSITIVE PATERNITY TEST!

Rule number one: NEVER. EVER. SIGN THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!! Not doing that has cost me so many years off my life. Luckily we weren't married and luckily the real Father wants his rights! The state will be vacating my AOP next court date this week!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

The family court raising the stakes ever higher with every serving just highlight how much a racket the industry is. They get a cut from that money and use any excuse as justification to take more.

We need serious reform in our Judicial system. No doubt.

This happened to a good friend years ago and because he was on the birth certificate, was told the same. He had no resources to fight. They were married when she cheated on him.

I was lucky, when I was in the army my wife took my son and left. I paid her to get my son sent to me (she was in Kentucky while I was stationed in Colorado). When I had my son I hired a good lawyer, filed for divorce and custody. What really helped is she was strung out (that only helped a little though). I refused to give her my son back because being the father I was as entitled to custody as she was. By me filing in court in Colorado it made things really hard for a broke junky to fight. Between that and provoking her temper she was found in contempt of court during our hearing, told the judge “he’s full of shit and had no jurisdiction” and pissed him off in the process. I won full custody and she was ordered to pay me child support. That was about 11 years ago and I still haven’t received a penny of help yet but I don’t care I’ve raised a awesome son. He is a straight A student, made state championship his first year wrestling, all start football player and a very well rounded out and promising young man.

This is one strong man. Many would crumble under this kind of pressure. The entire legal system is stacked against you.

A younger colleague told me he had to quit the firm to get a better paying job because he couldn't afford his child support payments. I asked him how that happened. He said he was vacationing on the opposite coast, went to a club, hooked up with a woman, had sex, and she had a baby. He had been paying $800.00 a month in child support for close to 6 months when he spoke to me. I told him he had to get a DNA test ASAP. He tried but she refused so I told him tell her our company demands it for placing the child on his insurance. When he said that to her she said she would cover the child on her insurance. I told him to tell her he needs the DNA test in case she loses her job/insurance. She refused. So I told him that means she knows it isn't your child and you need to get a DNA test ASAP. He scheduled a trip out there and did a DNA stealth swab. The test results proved it wasn't his child. He told her about the test results and she said it must be Joe's kid. I believe she had more than one man on the hook for that child. Maybe more than two that she was collecting from. He asked her for his money back and she told him F off.

This fraud being addressed is eventually going to shake the foundation of child support. More power to the men who can afford to fight this in court even though the chance of winning is slim.

My parents grew up in Poland and told me that Polish women and men had to be incredibly selective of their spouses. There was no child support, paternity tests, abortion, divorce court, etc. People were having an average of 3 kids per household and had a lot more cohesion than what they're seeing here in America. Selection is key.

Kudos to Carnell Smith for fighting the good fight for men who have wronged by paternity fraud. This brother is a hero! BRAVO, SIR!!! 👏 👏 👏

I'm going thru this right now..In fact I've had full custody of my daughter for 10yrs and now I'm being sued to reverse custody and pay child support..The false claims she had made against me are startling and disturbing and has had a negative effect on my daughter..Going to trial I guess, getting financially drained as well but wish me luck..1 day I hope to start a project to help fathers like us..

I am a 56 year old woman and I can tell you that this is a huge problem and women need to start drilling this into their sons heads as soon as they get into their teens. I can tell you that they do not just pray on men who are well off. Many women’s goal is to have several children all by different men and the goal is to have the first child of these men, they don’t want to get pregnant by a man who is already paying child support on other children because your payout won’t be as high so if they’re only managing to get $400 to $700 for each kid every month. This allows these women to never work. They live in low income housing and can collect $2000 plus a month in child support . Also sometimes the goal is not just a child support check even if your family is of modest income and you live in a mobile home and are “working” class and provide a safe and comfortable home life for your children your 16-year-old son now becomes a target of a girl whose mother has basically sponged off of boyfriend after boyfriend to support them their whole life. These girls are looking for the same thing because that’s all they know so they will intentionally get pregnant before they graduate from high school so they can move in with her boyfriend‘s family and collect food stamps and possibly cash assistance for being a single mother,) because it is a much more stable home life. This will last until she meets another boy that she like better then they will cheat and get pregnant by that guy so that they can climb the ladder and move in with baby daddy number two he probably has an apartment instead of having to live with baby daddy number ones family. Now baby daddy number one has to worry about the welfare of his child that baby daddy number two doesn’t give a crap about because baby daddy number two got trapped just like baby daddy number one and he’s not happy to be in the situation.. I have also witnessed women who have had multiple children by different men that are collecting fairly large sums of money in child support but are now too old or have health problems and con no longer produce children start dating 19 and 20-year-old to make them feel young again and have them move into their apartments and they are basically sugar mamas to these young men who want nothing to do with all their children except for the fact that they are also their meal tickets because these young men don’t work and now sponge off of these older women’s kids child support checks just like the mother. These women are horrible mothers and usually only have these kids to get a free ride through life and the kids lives are usually pretty bleak and then they repeat the cycles of their mother at least the girls do and their sons typically end up in prison. I have worked at Walmart for 29 years and have listened to lunch room gossip from women Who are only in their 40s or 50s whose children who are now all over 18 so they are no longer collecting child support checks and now have to take on part-time jobs for the first time in their life and they literally give this advice to younger girls and then complain about sons in prison wanting them to put money in their accounts. A coworker and a good friend of mine’s 17 year old son got caught in one of these traps by 15-year-old girl whose mother‘s boyfriend couldn’t stand her and was threatening to kick her out, she got pregnant and moved in with them and their lives have been hell ever since She is now 19 still acts like she’s 15 is a crappy mother who ues their grandchild as leverage to get what she wants threatening to take the kid and they’ll ll never see him again if she doesn’t get her way, oh and this girl‘s two oldest half brothers are both in prison for murder.

There needs to be jail time for these crimes!

I have never been on this side of the coin but I sympathize with the good men that are. Child Support is a multimillion dollar business and the system doesn't care how they get it. If we start holding these women accountable who commit Paternity Fraud and have them arrested, I think we'll see change.

Alarming! Thank God for this man and his resilience.

I think it’s just going to get worse for us men. I have already decided I am never getting married. This story sounds like my friend for work. Found out his 1 and 4 year old wasn’t his and still had to pay child support because she said she didn’t know who the father was. He had to pay alimony and child support for a failed marriage that wasn’t his fault and is financially destroyed.

All the way to the Supreme Court for a kid that isn't even yours? Wow.

I believe paternity fraud should be an offense that includes a mandatory prison sentence.

Recently went through a 4.5 year legal dispute involving my son and ex-fiance... My lawyer told me to not mention ANYTHING about how courts are biased against fathers. People in the court system call it "Mad Dad Syndrome" and they don't like it.. So not only are we getting shafted in the courts, if we try to bring it up we get shafted even harder. If I complained, it would've been used against me. There is no equality in these cases.

I now FULLY understand why so many Holy texts state that significantly more women will end up in hell than men.

This hit me so hard and scared me so much I got heart palpitations. The shock and fear is real!!! These scandalus women are out here doing this every day. Gentlemen beware!!! There are traps everywhere. I'm still shaking. Maybe this is a combination of anger and fear. There, but for the grace of God, go I.

my cousin had to pay child support for a kid that wasn't his for 8 years, even with proof it wasn't his kid. when he finally got the court order overturned, he never saw a dime of that money back and couldn't sue the state or the mom for it.

Never, not once, did the government ever care about the child.

"my body my choice." Except, when it's my body as a man, you don't care at all.... So ya.... Now, I'm done with my body my choice argument.

Any case of exposed paternity fraud should be faced with returning all the money he was forced to pay out. Its the mothers fault she lied and stole money from an innocent man, letting these woman get away with it just lets them weaponize the system. If the man ain't the father, he shouldn't owe a cent. Its not some random dudes responsibility to pay for her choices and responsibilities. Make woman accountable and I bet a lot of woman would be a lot more on board with birth control and abortions.

GIVE THIS MAN THE NOBEL PEACE AWARD.

What a good man. Actually went out and changed things when he saw injustice.

I'm a therapist out of NC I have had Carnell Smith on my show. He did a great job

That's why "the snip" is a must ...

So are the women who perpetrate this fraud going to jail? Clearly that is a crime. I don't understand why men would k*ll themselves over this instead of the judge.

and she gets away scoot free.. 🤬 she keeps all his payment and family court keeps the processing fee. 😂

Saved this video. I already informed my girlfriend, possibly one day wife, a while back that a paternity test is mandatory if we are to have children. This will never be my fate and there is no logical argument against the test

Florida law says a husband is liable to pay child support for his wife's child even though it can be proven she got pregnant from some other man. This almost happened to my son during a divorce.

I remember when his case when it was before the courts. Gave it as much support as i could on social media. Posted ever article or any other piece of imfomation about his case, not just in the US but all over the world. I was very happy when he finally won.

i've been wrongfully punished multiple times by a woman who are allowed to tell any lie with no repercussions, they even call it 'the duluth model' named after the place I live, the woman is always the victim, even though she admitted i've never done anything to her, she can just say 'its hard being a woman' and I go to jail

Jesus what a horror story - Shit like this is going to come out little by little and the law will regret not correcting this injustice sooner as more and more men start choosing to go their own way. Men are talking to each other in a way never before seen in history and thus they are waking up to the truth that women are not angels. I mean to swindle a man like that to me is borderline evil.

Paternity test is a must! That's the only thing men have to know that they're raising their own child!

I see things like this all the time with men I know. The baby mama wants all the money and also all the time with the child and wants to control everything about everything. This is absolutely disgusting.

The fact that a law so specific as this needs to even be made in the first place is what I find to be rather distressing.

When the courts know they have a guy that makes money and they can force him to pay the courts will never let him go. Many times women will entrap a man she cheated on because he has a good income and the true father is doesn't.

It’s not about the man or woman, it’s about the court getting their cut under the guise of it being for the child. Don’t get women pregnant. If a woman says you got her pregnant, demand a DNA test immediately. If you buy any baby items, keep a running receipt tab in case the results are negative OR positive. Get yourself a lawyer immediately. Learn the laws in your state. If the child is yours, demand equal or sole custody. If the child is not yours, show those receipts and demand your money back. Get a restraining order if necessary outside the child support courts against the mother and her people. Raising your child is expensive. Child support for your child costs far more. Child support for another man’s child is infinitely more expensive, not just monetarily but in all other ways as well.

I can't imagine having kids... If I do I would want the mother to sign her rights away and leave because I can't trust that she won't take me to court

What I find in equal measures both utterly bewildering and infuriating is when you are amongst your non-red pilled male friends and the subject of women and relationships comes up and it is blindingly obvious you're the ONLY man in the group of 4-6 men who has taken the red pill and now become completely aware of just how speaking strictly from the standpoint of Statistically driven odds no man should ever get married and how utterly horribly prejudiced family court and custody laws are how it is now a common practice for women to commit paternity fraud and get pregnant just to get child support payments for 23 years and how an ever increasing number of women do this to multiple men every day and make a living from it how it is now a nation wide epidemic especially in colleges women falsely accusesing men of physical or sexual abuse how the fact at LEAST 90% of all women are essentially un-marriable how women now have significantly more pre-marital sexual partners than men the divorce rate for 1st time marriages is 57% and of the 43% of marriages that do somehow escape divorce court for 70% of the men in these marriages the last the last half of the marriage it is lonely miserable and devoid of sex or intimacy. The attitudes I get from my friends are complete disdain and disbelief and their replies are a mixture of I'm wrong there is no way anyone can gather such statistics accurately and women really aren't that bad and best response of all is to avoid all the horrors I speak of you just have to Now wait for it Wait for it............................ "Just find the right one" To this idiocy I reply a man took the dating app data of 10k women and 10k men and short version was 80% of these women found 90% of the men completely unacceptable to date VS 60% of men found only 40% of women unacceptable to date Then I quote statistics from the CDC showing the average female are now contracting STDs at a rate so much higher then men they have to be having sex at a rate per CDC calculations at least 3x that of the average man. But they all want to talk about is our glorie days in the 80's and 90's when dating was a blast and women were very accommodating I reply yes those WERE good times but I then tell them those days are dead and gone and the truth of todays women is if any of us were to womanize like that to day and have ONS with that many women no doubt in my mind whatsoever the most successful womanizers among us would end up falsely accused of GRape after some 304 got PO'd she'd been used and discarded My friends ask do I not want my sons to give me grandchildren? I reply of course I do but seeing as in your collective opinions I DKWTF I'm talking about when it comes to todays women then you "experts" tell me where my sons should go to "Just find the right one?" I say only a complete idiot or a complete player seeks out women on dating apps Bars are literally infested with 304's and 99% of women in them are absolutely unsuitable for LTR's let alone marriage Collages are populated with over 90% raging feminists To even approach a woman at work about dating risks loosing at best your job at worse your reputation and future Churches are even now infested with women unacceptable for marriage I told my friends both of my my boys are going to be very high value men as both will be at least 6'3" both are good looking both very powerfully built both are pursuing very high demand very secure very good paying fields of employment Both will leave collage and enter the workforce completely debt free so considering as non wealthy men go my sons will be among the highest value men under 30 and I asked my friends to PLEASE tell me where my sons can find a young girl to marry that: 1- Is not a feminist or has extreme left political beliefs 2-Is not completely addicted to SM and has bunches of "guy friends" on the most popular SM sights 3-Has no crushing collage or CC debt 4-No tattoos 5-No crazy piercings 6-Has no kids 7- Not divorced 8-Not fat let alone obese I tell them a woman having just any 3 of these simple 8 requirements eliminates over 90% of all American women as being acceptable to marry. My friends all look at me like I'm f-ing nuts.

A woman can accuse any man she has been with and if he has the resources to fight it she just moves to thee next.

The government needs to create an incentive for families to stay together, not the other way around

Once a REAL test comes up negative, the money needs to go back, the courts need to conclude that it is over, and criminal charges need to be brought up on the mother.

She cheated on me, Wanted a divorce, Took my house and retirement, We got 50/50 on child, I had to pay child support and ended up paying 75% of child bills and had my daughter 75% of the time but all the ex could say was that I got off easy at 500 bucks a month, I was poor, (BTW She made more money than I did) She even went after my Veterans disability pay, The only reason she didn't get that was because I served before I had met her, I've followed my daughter to college to make sure she's ok, And she wants nothing to do with her mother who has done nothing to help with her schooling, It's all on me. I'm sure my daughter is mine, She looks just like our family "Look" and nothing like her mother (Thank God) I'm proud her and in the end it was worth it.

🤬😡😡😡 how is this crap even acceptable, moral or legal

God bless I am so glad you stood up for your self and all the other people this has happened to!

The consistency I keep hearing in these stories is that the woman blows her cover by listening to her friends say she should.get.more and then taking the supposed father to court. If not for pushing men to the brink it would have never been revealed the kid wasn't his. These Jezebels become so arrogant and entitled that karma itself steps in and exposes the fraud. I've heard this exact scenario too many times!!

So sad! The system is screwed up against men!!

and the feminism said it's unfair to be female, period. Even in my own home, I don't see that.

They need to make paternity testing a birth a requirement - like they now do in the army - will take the emotion out the equation This way the proper father can be found and held responsible Paternity fraud is not fair to the baby or the father held accountable If I women knew she would be tested when she gave birth she would think long and hard before she cheated This is much more prevelent than we think - would be willing to bet at least 10% of children are not with their real father - if not more

There should be criminal charges for lying about paternity

Always remember that Tobasco sauce gentlemen. #Leykis101

"Male privilege" and "Patriarchal dominance" don't really mean much when it comes to women wanting free money, do they?

Thank you sir for bringing this to the attention of the world, the women who do or have done this should have to pay back all the child support and anything else they have illegally obtained through fraud. Fraud is a crime and no one should be exempt. Thank you again

Can you Imagine... A court case wherein... The Court Orders a woman to go to her ex-husband's house... And cook his meals... Do his laundry... Clean his house... And all for Free... BECAUSE that is the "Lifestyle he has become accustom to"... Of course not... And Rightly So... Because such an order would Violate the 13th Amendment... Which PROHIBITS Involuntary Servitude... And Yet... Courts all across the country... With a straight face... Do the EXACT Same thing to men on a daily basis... And Justify it... By pretending it is different because the Enslavement is Not Direct... Yet... There is NO Difference between FORCING Person A to work for Person B Against their will... And Forcing Person A to work for Person C... And then SURRENDER the Fruit of that Labor to Person B Against their Will... It is Simply Slavery By Proxy... It is well past time for us men to do something about it... And we should start by challenging Alimony Laws on 13th Amendment grounds... And then doing the same for cases of Paternity Fraud... Etc. Oh... And it Violates the 14th Amendments Equal Protections Clause as well.

I learned a lot from how the criminal justice system is designed to say go to court where it will always cost for justice despite already getting tax payer dollars for furniture vouchers.

That's why men should insist on a DNA test at birth

Had a Co-worker, that Married a Girl that already had a Child, They have a Child together, & a few years later, She talks to Him about adopting Her first child. As He was the only father figure in its Life, & She Felt it was Unfair that the Child went by Her Maiden name, while Their Child has His. So as a Loving Husband, & Father, He Adopts the Child! 90 Days after the adoption was Finalized, She has Him Served at Work, with Divorce Papers, & a No Contact Order! When He goes to court for temporary Child Support, The Judge Looked at Him, & said: She Did You Dirty! But There is Nothing I can Legally Do about it. The Final Blow, comes about a year later, when She moves to another State, Stating that Her Fiance, had a Job offer out of State. Which was probably True? But it also made it financially Impossible, for Him, to see His Child, & the one He adopted!

The court will never change its a big business they get a kick back

I feel the same way when I pay my taxes. Some of those funds are supporting kids that aren't mine.

im paying child support on my son. i have him more than his mom and feed him every meal except 4 days a month. she watches him in the late afternoon and night while im at work 3rd shift and drops him off in the morning. i have him everyday but 4 a month her weekends and she crys about that. she currently works a job making less than starting wages at mcds stocking shelfs. in fact she argued with me yesterday why me or my now wife dont keep him at night when we work nights. also also b4 she filed i had him every weekend for over 2 years she didnt keep him 1 time on the weekend. court didnt give a shit about any of that

Ty you master algorithm for suggesting 21, subscribed

Justice should be equal!

You can be denied visitation while required to be financially responsible for a child that is demonstrably not your seed, but we live in an oppressive patriarchy. Yeah, sure.

I remember when I finally won sole legal/sole physical custody of my daughter with visitation at my discretion. My Ex had been arrested for 9 felony charges. Yet, after walking out of court with a snide comment by the family court office clerk "They gave YOU custody?". While my Ex ended up in jail for 8 months, San Bernardino County still kept collecting child support from me. Just because I now had sole custody, well there was no change to the support order... I had to go back to court to have that stopped. Even once I got the court to stop it, the DA Child Support Division didn't want to stop collecting. I spent many visits to their office trying to get them to follow the new order. After loosing our home over all of it when we moved to another state for a fresh start, we had to go to the 7 southern counties and get a release from each and every one of them signed so we would be able to get our vehicle registrations transferred to the new state we took up residence in. I think we had to have it done to be able to transfer the titles to any future owners as well, but it's been awhile and I may be mistaken on that. 6 years of fighting in family court to have my daughter in a stable home, not couch surfing with her meth addicted mother.

This gentleman is a hero. I’m sorry for what you went through, glad I won’t have to.

Never ever ever ever get legally married if you want to live a peaceful life

Thank you for being a true hero. They told you you could do nothing about it and you proved them all wrong. Congratulations brother

Manny Thanks for what you are doing for the babies, the real fathers and for men that are pay who are not the fathers.

About time this got done. LONG-overdue

All of the media is going crazy over Roe v Wade, but NEVER talks about this.

Fantastic Information. 👍👍

Can we like rise up and make this actually happen…? Start in one state and then make it known

I never understood why Feminist are against paternity test ??

Enforced payment should neccessecitate proven parenthood. Otherwise any and all measures should be taken to resist enforcement.

I would like to know who wrote all laws that the custody system goes by...

God Bless this man!

Fun Fact: They were contemplating making a mandatory paternity test law in France. But then they figured out that at least in one third of cases there is paternity fraud. Because most Euro countries have a strong welfare and social safety net, it'd most likely be the state on the hook for the child, so they quickly refrained from codifying it into law.

Love this. I wanna volunteer.

Interesting how the courts only come after the responsible men in these matters....

BY LAW any organizations that attempts to begin a process a child support case without DNA proof of paternity should be fined and prosecuted and shut down until resolved. ENough people go to prison for attempted extortion and theft this will stop. OH and officials who work with prosecutors turning over evidence of mothers willing knowing paternity fraud get a reduced sentence.

Women should be charged for this but they won’t so it’ll keep happening 🤦🏾‍♂️

A good friend of mine ( a black guy married to a white bitch ) was forced to pay so much he was living on 300.00 a month ( why he had to move in with a nice lady) while his ex wife had a 60k a yr job. And this was 20 yrs ago. The system sucks at times

geez there is no point to get married or have a child for a man
