Today, I got served paperwork stating that my ex-fiancée is suing me again for child support. About 7 years ago, I proved via DNA testing within the court system that I was not the father the first time. I see a talk show in my future. FML

Today, I got served with a child support hearing. I've never met the woman suing and the person she’s going after has the same name as me. The court people told me not to worry, but those are famous last words and I know it. FML
Today, my ex-wife announced that she's taking me to court for child support. Her kids were just my stepkids and we weren't even married a year, but she apparently has a pretty good lawyer on her side. FML
Today, my ex started to talk to me again after 3 years. I've been in an amazing relationship for the last 2 years. She let me know she is taking me to court for child support. I didn't even know I had a kid. FML
Today, my psychotic ex-boyfriend hit a brand new low. I was served court papers, saying that he’s suing me by demanding I give him a paternity test for my daughter. He’s also telling everyone he’s her real father. He and I were broken up for more than a year before I even got pregnant. FML
Today, the cops showed up to my house and served me a child support order from the girl I had a one-night stand with, and who'd promised me she would abort the baby. All this was two years ago. My wife of three years was in the house and heard everything. She packed up her things and told me she’ll be calling her attorney. FML
Today, a child that was born due to my donation to a sperm bank in 1995 contacted me. My current wife, who I met in 2003, is convinced I cheated on her and is filing for a divorce. FML
Today, my ex mother-in-law stupidly made an offhand comment, so I got my kids DNA tested. NONE, I repeat NONE of them is mine. When I think of the thousands I’ve paid in child support I’ll never get back, and now my own mother thinks I’m an asshole for refusing to pay any further. FML
Today, I found out that my father, who is divorced from my mother, has set up a lawsuit against her and that I am required to go to court and testify against her as a witness. I've tried to keep neutral for six years, and I'll go to jail if I don't show up. FML
Today, I received a packet of papers in the mail by the state suing me for child support. I am 22 and still a virgin. FML
Today, I got a call from the county’s courthouse where I used to live saying I was being sued for fraud and expected in court to defend myself. Apparently, my ex took a loan out in my name and now I get to pay $2300 worth of legal fees and restitution to this loan company. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe the kid matured and its DNA finally matches yours. That could happen.

I've heard that in some states, if a guy signs the birth certificate, claiming that child-- that in the courts' eyes, it doesn't matter if you're proven not to be the father. The courts are there solely for the child's benefit. Very unfair for dads with hoochie baby mamas!

Dumb and a bitch let's pray the real father had brains so this child doesn't follow in moms footsteps

If the dad had a brain, he wouldn't have been palling around with the mom in the first place, more'n likely.

I believe 25 is correct. I've heard the exact same thing about fathers signing the birth certificate. It is designed to ensure that the child is protected and supported. Doesn't matter if the correct person does it.

Who pays for court costs in America? (I'm assuming that's where this is) Does the loser have to pay the winners costs? Cos if so, this chick is a ******* idiot

No, loser doesn't pay in America, and this is a good thing. Can you imagine being an individual suing a large corporation, losing, and being personally on the hook for the corporation's legal bills? It'd serve as a deterrent to individuals suing big companies, when the threat of massive lawsuit payouts is often the only thing that can compel decent behavior from those big companies.

#25 is right. In some states it doesn't matter if he isn't the biological father. If OP stuck around for any amount of time in which the child could gain an attachment, he could be found liable even if the test proved he wasn't the father. Even in cases where they have proof that the women were deceitful about paternity, men get screwed. Such fuckery.

This woman is stupid. Probably can't remember all the men she has tried to sue for child support and your name just came up again while she was going through her address book of who to try next. I don't believe you can use past evidence in a former court case in a new one so you will probably have to take another test proving you aren't the child's father, a pain but still it will save you a headache.

I've seen a few court cases where the mother tries to sue the "father" again and if he's already proven he's not, they usually throw the case out. Or, grant the counter proposal.

I have to say that your life legitimately sucks. Unfortunately, even though the case has no basis, the OP will probably have to shell out tens of thousands in legal fees to get the case thrown out. Happened to my grandfather. The person had no basis, but the cheapest thing was just to settle just to get the guy to go away. Ended up losing like $10,000 in addition to the settlement in legal and lawyer fees. You can countersue, but again, the price will be astronomical. I think the price to petition to get a case thrown out for lack of evidence is $30,000 or something ridiculous.

Sadly, this is true... On top of legal fees, the time spent in court (and therefore not at work) will cause someone to incur even greater losses. I've had a parent who was sued, and he won the case, but it was a Pyrrhic victory -- he missed so much time from work, it would have been cheaper (and easier) to settle outside of court. (It also hurt his employees; if the only licensed professional is gone, the employees can't work.)

To be honest that kind of makes sense to me. To have to pay as long as you had some fatherly role. Biological or not you were supporting them and now you've stopped. That has to be rough for both mother and child. However..7 years? Is it just out of the blue or has she been trying for the past 7 years? This kid could be pretty old unless they divorced because the child wasn't his.

while she's suing you for child support, counter Sue for wrongful prosecution and harassment. All the best op :)
