Boise Divorce Attorneys - Custody Lawyers - Paternity Fraud

Boise Divorce Attorneys - Custody Lawyers in Idaho - call (208) 472-2383 for your free consultation today.

Boise Divorce Attorneys hear it all the time. Custody Lawyers hear it all the time. We have all heard the story. Our buddy, Joe Q. Public, tells us that his girlfriend, Jane Doe got pregnant, she told him it was his baby, they got married, they got a divorce, they had a custody hearing, she got custody, he got visitation, he was ordered to pay child support, he paid child support for two years, he exercised his visitation for two years and he just came to find out on Facebook that he is not the biological father and she knew it all along.

Should paternity by fraud be a criminal charge in Idaho? The Idaho legislature didn't go as far as to make it criminal but they did enact Idaho Code 32-1009, Paternity Fraud - Child Support Restitution.

Idaho Code 32-1009 says that an Idaho Court can vacate a child support order if a man has been named the biological father of a child and has been ordered to pay child support if he shows (if his custody lawyers show) by clear and convincing evidence (this is a criminal level of proof), that he is not the father and that mother of the child knowingly and intentionally misrepresented that he was the father of the child.

So what does that do for Joe Q. Public? Once he finds out that he is not the father and that the mother perpetrated fraud, he has two years to file a petition to terminate the child support order. In addition, he can request, and an Idaho Court can order, that either the mother, or the real biological father pay him restitution for the amount of child support that he has paid for the child.

Advice from a Boise Divorce Attorney? Be careful what you post on Facebook. It can be and will be used against you in a court of law.

  1. Hawaii Criminal Lawyers OR Hawaii DUI Lawyers are legal representatives who defend clients who have been accused of white-collar crimes, DUIs, assault, burglary, vandalism, or murder. They may work with adults, juveniles, or both. These professionals will sometimes offer a free consultation to discuss the matters that pertain to your case but it's crucial to get advice as soon as possible. The sooner the better, as your lawyer will then spring into action to gather evidence to build a case to protect you in court. Although the experience may seem like a nightmare, it's important not to panic. An experienced legal representative will know what to do as he or she has handled many cases. Your lawyer will leave no stone unturned.
