SUCKER: Oklahoma man is forced to pay child support for baby his cheating wife conceived with her lover. [archive]
He and his ex wife married after she got pregnant in high school. Thomas said at the time he had no reason to assume the baby was not his.
When the couple’s marriage fell apart around the time the baby turned three, something led Thomas to ask for a paternity test.
He took the test twice and both showed he was absolutely not the father. But it did not matter because in Oklahoma a man has to question paternity within two years. Legally, the non-biological child he was raising was his. . . .
News On 6 [archive] reports a judge initially ruled in favor of Thomas. But after revisiting the law, the judge ordered the duped dad to pay $500 per month in child support plus $15,000 in back support plus interest.
