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?

she doesn't seem too bright, or she's just a bitch. probably the latter.

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

Propably both.

She probably wants to get money out of him too

8, Ding! Ding! Ding! This woman is only after his money and thinks that, somehow, there won't be another DNA test. I feel sorry for the child based on how stupid her mother is!
Chucklikesbacon 12
That would propably be the best reason, why she is doing this. Everything else just wouldn't make sense.
ryan112 12
Great. Another person trying to do whatever she can to live off of the government or other people rather than do it like all the other strong and independent mothers have done such as my mother of 4 children!

#7 jup, she's a dumb bitch. she only wants to get some money out of it, but i don't think she thought this through, because this makes no sense at all.
llama612 27
@14 I doubt there would even been need of another DNA test it would be in the court records showing that the previous DNA test proved OP wasn't the father. Some people just never learn though.

In some states, if you are the main provider for a kid, even if not biologically yours, and you divorce, the courts can mandate you pay child support. My mom said had she and her ex husband divorced when we were under the age of 18, she could have gone after him for child support had she felt like it, but she isn't that mean, and I was 21 when they split.

i think the best option is to countersue for harassment.
alycion 38
The problem is in some states it doesn't matter. If a man makes one payment on his own, he is stu k whether the kid is his or not. There are a few other conditions too. It falls under what is best for the child. Pretty messed up.
niallo 23
This one is actually very easy. And you don't even need a lawyer. Move for dismissal as the case was already adjudicated. That's it. Just bring the old case number and dismissal paper (if you don't have it, the court will have copies).
bamagrl410 31
The court will probably go through the docket, see the case, and laugh her out of the room. I can't believe she's dumb enough to think they'll overlook a DNA test, not do another one, and not just throw the case out. Some people...

Going without a lawyer doesn't seem like a good idea. The risk for his livelihood is far too high to try and skimp on the lawyer's fee.
ThePieGuy0817 29
I see a higher likelihood that both statements are correct.
Sliver1991 26
I hope she ends up wasting money on lawyers and gets nothing out of it.

If that's the case, 7 years from now the Maury show is going to blow up. Return of the ghetto mothers (maybe even grandmas by then).

Wtf. I hope you're joking.

17, perdix didn't get to become one of the top commenters by being a retard. Or maybe he did, I haven't been around that long myself.
PenguinBitch 43
17- I hope you're new here. It's obvious he is. Basically everyone here is joking. I'm just kidding.
perdix 29
The "That could happen" at the end should have been the tip-off that I was trying to sell you a bag of BS.
Bakarra 22
20 apparently everyone here can be just kidding but only ill be taken seriously...haha
Link5794 18
No, it's just because most of us know what Perdix's comments are like and we recognize the sarcasm.
bamagrl410 31
24 - EVERY single FML I've looked at, your comments have been thumbed down. Please, just slow down and think.
Bakarra 22
If you want to report me go right ahead, the FML community is quite flippant in it's judging of people's comments, anyone who disagrees with the opinion of a popular fmler is automatically thumbed down, I've been thumbed down multiple times for my blatant sarcasm being taken seriously. Feel free to look at my favorites, most of which have comments of mine that are thumbed up.
Sliver1991 26
Do you still hold on to that bag of BS, perdix? I am in dire need of some!
PenguinBitch 43
She's looking for someone to drag down along with her other problems. You proved her wrong the first time and still suing you for child support? She should used the money she's paying her lawyer with for her child.
brackaman 18
I take it that's the reason you're no longer together?
zahra_786 19
As soon as I read DNA I thought of Jeremy Kyle, haha. Good luck though OP.

If you’re not the father of her child it should be simple. It’s much more interesting why your former fiancé tries again after 7 years even though she already failed.
mackdeezy 22
You are NOT the father!!! Now take 2 minutes to dance your ass off in the crowd
JocelynKaulitz 28
"You are NOT the father!!" -Maury.
SilentScreamer 12
Just take another test. Easy, but, annoying.
Kalipczo 21
Sue her right back for harassment. I'm not exactly sure how our legal and suing system works, but I know you can make a counterclaim and put out a restraining order. If you know youre not the father you've got nothing to worry about. She's just going to look crazy.
Bakarra 22
Ooooor he could just bring the results of the previous DNA test to court with him. It's pretty damning evidence I'd think. But yea then a restraining order would be in...order...
Not_Impressed13 9
Just get copies of the the documents from the previous court case. And counter-sue for harassment. The restraining order is a good idea, as well.
tencentsakiss 19
Honestly, even countersuing costs an enormous amount of money, so his life definitely sucks.
niallo 23
He will be in court anyway. But if nothing else, he should look for his legal costs just for the fact she is so stupid.
toalysium 15
If it was already decided in court all he should* have to do is get his lawyer to dismiss it by summary judgment. It's called issue preclusion. *don't know the state so can't be more specific.
