Texas’ family code, chapter 161, states that even if one is not the biological father, they still owe support payments that accrued before the paternity test proves otherwise. In Cornejo’s case, that amounts to some $65,000.
So some chick can just say, "Hey this is your kid, now pay me $$$ a month?" Even though it's not your kid?
An insane person wrote that law.

I have felt for a long time that in many cases, child support is more or less ex-spouce support. There is no way that a kid should cost the other parent (typically the man) $1000-1500/mo. As stared earlier, mom should be responsible for her half so double that number. Yeah, that’s total BS. I am not divorced and making child support payments thank god.

At least make it tax deductible. I can’t claim it and the ex doesn’t have to claim it as income. You can deduct gambling losses and alimony for Pete’s sake. I’m lucky, the ex and
I live a few miles apart , and I can see my kids whenever I want. We don’t have a schedule. If she has plans with them, they stay with her and vice versa.
