They do that in Texas too. Unless the guy dodges coming in for testing, and refuses to be located, and then they default him and then let him figure it out once they assess a child support payment.
It's funny, a guy who spends significant time and effort dodging a court warrant for his DNA will usually come forward when he's sent a child support bill.

Isn't it amazing how they can be bothered to come climbing out of the woods once that child support order has been issued? Could have saved themselves a whole mess of trouble just by showing up to court and doing the silly test.
Well, or probably much more realistically, I'm a mom and my child is entitled to support from his father.
Must be nice being a woman. I'm the custodial parent with around 70% physical custody and I pay child support to the mother. Why you ask? Because entitled women lobbied for outrageous laws in Illinois that make the higher earner pay child support.
Children are typically only entitled to money from a father. Children should be supported by both parents, not simply used as a VISA gift card by women.

Kirk Kevorkian (billionaire) is paying child support on a kid later to find out it isn't even his!
Ex-wife wanted to increase it to 320K a month!
And that story is a great example of why you never give your STBX/ex-spouse a single thin dime that isn't court ordered. He was giving her an additional $20,000-$30,000 a month above and beyond the court order. When he stopped doing that, she took him back to court to make that amount t permanent.

Holy entitlement Batman!
What a country!
She also falsified the paternity test, she stole a toothbrush that belonged to his daughter from another marriage for testing.
All the state funding in every state is driven by matching Federal funds. That is why the states are all over tracking down non-payment of child support. Here in NJ, whenever you apply for something like a driver's license or professional license, one of the questions is always about owing child support. The problem with this is, if you need a license to work and you are behind, you either lie on the form (a crime) to get the license to earn money to pay the support or you affirm that you are behind and do not get the license and do not get the job to try and pay the support. In the first instance you are screwed if they find out you lied and in the second instance you and the child are both screwed.
"For every dollar a state or local government spends on the child support program, it receives 66 cents from the federal government (also known as Federal Financial Participation, or FFP). The federal government also provides incentive payments, which are designed to encourage states to operate strong performance-based child support programs."
I'm well aware of that funding issue. For the uninitiated, hopefully your knowledgeable post illustrates a less emotional reason as to why the higher earner typically is the payor in child support cases.
I suppose the initial post in this thread is more personal for me than most which can make it challenging for me to look at the issue unbiasedly.
As others have clearly shown, the subject of this thread has created a lot of his own problems. Others have illustrated how paternity absent a DNA test is literally based on the mother's word. That is an outrageous quagmire that some unwitting male could be thrust into and then have to spend thousands of dollars fighting to prove the truth. Family courts do not move fast. They move glacially when it comes to lowering/eliminating child support ordered amounts since the state is financially incentivized to keep the tally of bricks at the same height or higher.

In for a penny, in for a pound I suppose. How long did she go to jail for? (rhetorical)
