We're talking about a guy who's making national headlines because his wages were garnished for child support for a kid that isn't his, that lives in a different state that he's never met.

And the woman is now suing him, saying that she doesn't want the payments to stop, even though she knows the kid isn't his.

Her attorney argued that while the identity error is unfortunate, the child has been supported for three years under a lawful court order, and a sudden stop in payments could negatively impact the household.

What?

What?

A lawyer actually took this case, first of all.

And the lack of support would just perpetuate another absent father in the child's life and would re-traumatize the mother who has become dependent on the money because it would be another man leaving her empty handed.

No, I can't find the real dad, so I want this guy to keep paying child support for my kid.

Maybe that's the $124 we're keeping the lights on.

Meanwhile, the state confirmed that it is an accident and a clerical error, but it will continue to garnish the man's wages.

What?

Because the process of fixing it would take several weeks to several fiscal quarters to figure out.

So they're just going to continue to garnish the guy's wages.

that's the way the law works honestly like i've been through a divorce and some custody not custody stuff but child support stuff and you definitely just have to go with it until you fight it divorce things are crazy yeah right because like it is insane somebody could like um i literally had money stolen from an account of mine right quite a quite a few dollars and i'm like hey um if that would happen on the street

If this person went into an account that they're currently not supposed to be in for thousands of dollars, that would be a felony.

Am I correct?

And they're like, yeah, but this is a divorce.

It's different.

And I'm like, wait, how is that different?

Can I call the police and say, hey, this is a felony.
