Q: Hi, I was dating a girl 25 years ago, I found out she was married , and told Her I didn’t want to see her anymore , she
Got very angry , then told me
She had clomidia, then the next week said she was pregnant,.. then I never heard from her again .. I never had her phone number , she always had her sister drive her to my house ... 24 years later , I get a message on Facebook from a girl who claims she is my daughter , and does resemble me a lot ...she wants a Peter it’s test to see if I’m her father , she seems sincere , but her father who raised her that threatened me to stay away from his family when he found out she reached out to me , all
Of a sudden wants one to be done too .. he could just as easily done one himself to find out .. is this a ploy to collect child support ? Is it even possibly after all these year , and never contacting me again ..
She is 24 now, and they didn’t even tell her till she was 14
Thanks
A: You should be very careful what information you give out. You might need a written contract to protect yourself. They could try to go after you for back child support. A Tennessee man was ordered to pay $160,000 in back child support in a case like yours. That case was upheld on appeal.
A: Nobody can get child support from you this far after the fact under your circumstances in Illinois. If I were you, I would want to know.
