Lying Mothers Pay in OZ
Dateline: Queeensland, Australia By: Kelvin Bissett at Couriermail From: DOTA (Dads on the Air) Via: The Honor Network Lying Mothers Pay in OZ Priority News Exchange Program News Item (PNEP) "MOTHERS are being forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars to men who paid child support over decades but were wrongly named as fathers. The new law, Section 143 of the Child Support (Assessment) Act, requires the Family Court to consider issuing orders for repayment whenever paternity is successfully challenged. It came into effect on January 1 last year. But not every man who successfully disproves paternity is getting his money back, documents show. Since July 1, 2006 and October 13, 2008, 344 men have obtained orders cancelling Child Support Agency declarations following DNA -*test*-('")s that proved they were not the fathers of the children in question. The move to make mothers pay has been attacked by women's groups." For more click: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,24632911-952,00.html
