Arizona Court-Ordered Insurance: Challenging Payments When Paternity is Questioned


Question
My fiance has been ordered by the State of AZ to pay Insurance on a child that is not his, and the mother has given custody to the real father.  How can we get this ammended?

Answer
Hi Jeniah~

You first have the burden of proving he is not the father.  And the only way you can do that is through a DNA test, this way it's on paper and says he is not the father, and thus that protects him from further court drama with this woman.  If his name is on the birth certificate then he'll need to get that changed as well, he'll have to do it through the court most likely.  This should take care of the problem.  When it's proven he is not the father, he can then take her back to court and see if he can recover all the expenses that he spent on the insurance that he was ordered to pay, possibly even lawyer and court costs too (it certainly can't hurt to ask).
