Science Man forced to pay child support for a child that DNA tests proved is not his

A Colorado man who spent 11 years believing he had fathered a daughter with his ex-wife is now fighting to stop paying child support after discovering the girl isn’t actually his.

Chris Atkins, 48, is legally obliged to pay $730 each month to his ex wife, Lori Lonnquist, despite a DNA test recently proving he is not the child’s father.

Atkins says he had only been dating Lonnquist a ‘short time’ when she told him she was pregnant.

The two married in 2000 before the child was born, but split up two and a half years later, with Atkins paying child support ever since.

However during a fight, Lonnquist blurted out that the girl did not belong to Atkins, setting in motion a nasty parental rights battle, Fox 31 reported.

Atkins daughter is now 15, however he says he has not been allowed to see her for four years.

He says that while the courts can force him to pay child support, he is still not allowed visitation.

‘It doesn’t make any sense to me,’ Atkins told Fox 31.

‘I just want my daughter, but I can’t even see her, but yet I’m still paying child support. And the biological father has been found and he gets to spend time with her. I don’t get nothing.’

Lonnquist insisted Atkins abandoned any relationship with her daughter when he learned she wasn’t biologically his. Atkins denied that and said Lonnquist refused to facilitate visits.

Furthermore she is trying to get him to relinquish his parental rights, so that her daughter can take the surname of Lonnquist’s current partner, who she will soon marry.

Lonnquist said she would agree to stop collecting child support from Atkins if he would agree to terminate his parental rights.

When asked if she was being greedy by Fox, Lonnquist said: ‘Maybe, but I don’t feel bad about it, I really don’t.’

Legal experts say the process to give up parental rights is cumbersome, because it requires someone to step in and have their name recorded on the birth certificate.

The obvious choice would be the girl’s biological father, however he is not willing.

Atkins says he will continue to fight, but does not know what the outcome will be.

‘You know, I don’t want pity, I just want everybody to know this is happening,’ he said.

‘It’s not right, it is not right.’

As it stands, Atkins is required to continue to pay child support for another four years, until the girl is 19.

The court will resist any and all attempts to complicate that situation.

That’s especially true for fathers contesting the adoption of their kids. The need for “permanancy” (i.e. the living situation of the child, which is what’s being contested) supercedes everything else. Whatever the status quo is when the situation gets to court they like keeping it that way.

Women got work and property rights but the law system is still stuck on this patriarcal idea that only the man is capable to guarantee sustain for the children, and so he must do it no matter what because women are weak and can only do small imbecile jobs. How oppressive

Explains the trannies and guys who want to marry dolls now.

Except that's a triple homicide. New problem.

Wrong bitch, its more than that, because any weakling who surrenders themselves to authorities is unworthy. Slay all authorities who dare side with the cunt and the corrupt system. Only through lethal, bloody violence will my master be pl- will effective social change be achieved.

Becuase that is the rules, often in the case where it hasn't gone to court, the State pays child support and you are obligated for whatever the State paid. In Maryland they attempted to force child support payments until the age of 21 if the child was going to College. This failed twice.

Ask me about my child enforcement payment nightmare.

The state of Maryland will pay for (in state) college tuition for kids in foster care. Should've just dumped the kids on the system.

So theoretically if someone got married outside of the U.S. in a place with less lopsided marriage law, could this kind of thing be avoided?

Cause fuck paying child support for someone else's kid or losing my house and half my shit because she wakes up and decides she ain't in love.

People can be frighteningly good at hiding their crazy. It’s like No-Bark says, “I don't trust a man that doesn't have something strange going on about him, cause that means he's hiding it from you. If a man's wearing his pants on his head or if he says his words backwards from time to time, you know it's all laid out there for you.”

Anyone who rated late, would you mind linking any previous thread that covers this story?

I didn't rate it late but i would guess a few other people did not because his particular story has been posted before, but because this type of thing is not at all unusual.

I believe in most if not all places under British common law any child born to a married woman is assumed to be the husbands and if paternity isn't disputed in a short amount of time (a request family court judges often deny anyways), relinquishing responsibility of the child is impossible. This guy is about a decade past that point and the only reason why his case is unique is his ex-wife is strait up saying she doesn't want him to have anything to do with the child but is glad to take his money while she shacks up with the bio-father.

This is true. I personally know of a situation where the literal evil stepmother would only be a bitch around her stepchildren; she was for the longest time sweet and nice to everybody else so that if the kids complained they'd look crazy. Then after a few years she divorced the guy and took him for all he was worth. Though I wouldn't so much call that crazy, as cold-hearted, conniving, gold-digging BEYOTCH.

After the divorce the mask slipped so then everyone knew what an utter insufferable cunt she actually was.

In other situations, people will overlook crazy, or any red flags for bugfuck insane, if the person is good in bed. Like one guy said when he called into the Tom Leykis Show back in the early to mid 2000's in regards to a crazy ex he eventually had no choice but to kick to the curb: "I was speaking in tongues, and my eyes were rolling back in my head."

Why isn't this guy relinquishing his parental rights?

 

[Polish Hot Dog (spicie)]

Why isn't this guy relinquishing his parental rights?

He just wants to see the kid he's been paying for
(Just let him say hi, you frigid bitch, and then he can fuck off)

 

[Fareal]

So... he wants the court to enforce his parental right to contact with the kid, but not the kid's right to child support from him as the legal parent?

To put this as neutrally as possible, who is advising him that the court is likely to go along with this? Because that's bad advice.

You never know with today's judges, honestly.

Also why is @Fareal like the only person to even notice that this cuck still wants to legally be the dad but just doesn't want to pay for it. He's not being taken advantage of by the courts, he's a retard who thinks he can get a free ride.

Because everyone here is fucking retarded.

 

[ICametoLurk]

Because everyone here is fucking exceptional.

Are we the lolcows?

Screeching MRA pissbabies losing their tiny minds and screeching about their right-wing pizzagate conspiracies the second they see 'child support' because it triggers their fee-fees. How embarrassing.

I remember seeing a similar story where this woman didn't know who the father of her kid was so she guessed wrong and wrote the wrong guy down as the father in the birth certificate and the poor fuck got it tested and cleared but still has to play child support. Make me :horrifying: at the thought that someone might even go a step further and say some random dude she was never with is the father and snag his paycheck.

Child support and family courts are such a horrid joke.

Ya I'm also :horrifying: at the concept of children not being raised in extreme poverty because men abandon them. Fucking feminists.
