Paternity Fraud
Change the law or legislation on paternity/child support in Tennessee
Why is this important?
My petition is to target or change the laws or legislature with the child support laws and paternity issues within the state of Tennessee.
I’m a victim of paternity fraud,I thought that I was the father of a child and signed the birth certificate and later after the fact discovered that I wasn’t through dna testing through a legal approved facility.
I have filed numerous petitions and spent thousands of dollars in legal fees and nothing was changed or done about this situation.
Also I’m still paying arrears on the case and the said child is an adult now and the courts or judicial system will not acknowledge the paternity test and that the child is not my child or stop the arrears on the case.
I’m not able to obtain a passport or travel out of the country due to this infraction or issue. It’s unfortunate and unfair for myself to have to continue paying support for a child that is not my biological child and also have to be punished for unfair and impractical legislation and child support laws that are in place in the state of Tennessee.
I know that I am not the only male that suffers from this issue or problem and I ask that something be done to correct the issue and process and change the law or laws in the state of Tennessee pertaining to child support and paternity cases.
Sincerely,
Derrick A. Arnold
