This is ridiculous. I can't believe any judge would allow such a thing as a result of a technicality.

My step-father divorced his first wife years ago but continued to pay child support for the last two of his four children. He had a sneaking suspicion that they weren't his (their physical traits were kinda obvious), so he finally got a paternity test done. By the time the tests and court crap were done, both children were already adults. Still, the court made his evil ex-wife pay him back for all the years of child support he paid.

He still loves the children as his own and provides for them as much as he can still, but his ex-wife knew that my step-dad wasn't the father all that time. Turns out she was having an affair with another guy for 10 years while they were married (the kids are 7 yrs. apart) and still she made my step-dad pay $$$. What a bitch.
