this is just wrong any way you look at it.

this is wrong on so many levels.  I be willing to bet, if he filed for some level of custody he would be denied that as well.

 

I think his SSAD group meets early Saturday mornings.  Actually, this may be the weekend of their retreat.  Manilow is in town.

Generally speaking, once a man acknowledges parenthood of a child, that child is his.  Period.  Subsequent DNA testing proving otherwise won't trump it.  Matter of public policy, I suppose.

And as for remarrying and continuing to receive support: (a) there's alimony and then there's support; (b) any decent decree terminates the payments upon remarriage of the receiving ex-spouse; and (c) exception to (b) is if the receiving ex-spouse marries significantly beneath the previous level of support (in which case the payor's sum usually is down-adjusted).  Again, public policy considerations -- the chance of the ex-wife livin' large off the husband's payments is less than the risk or distastefulness of a decrease in the child's living conditions.

If I am not mistaken all states if not most have the rule that a child born during the marriage is assumed to be child of the father and the exceptions to that rule are pretty severe to meet.  Has something to do with the "Lord Mansfield rule." 

Alimony is different than child support.  Child support is not automatically reduced or increased due to the marriage of the custodial parent.
