They separated in 1998. That's 10 years ago, when the kids were 6 years old. It's not like he's been raising these kids in a big happy family all this time. She had the twins, they got divorced 6 years later, she put him on the hook for palimony and he's been paying it ever since. While she had full custody and all he had was visitation rights.

Now, all of a sudden, she wants to cut his visitation rights and increase the amount of money he's paying... so he got a DNA test to confirm the kids were his. They're not his kids, and they never were his kids. Since they were divorced 10 years ago, and now have evidence that they were never his kids to begin with... he should not be responsible for the payments.

What the court should do is order a search for the biological father and then order him to make the payments.

Not to mention, these kids are 16 years old. They can't get a job after school and help their single mother (who probably isn't even single - just "legally single") with the rent?

Well, her actions are deplorable to be sure.

Still, he was their father in the house for 6 years. If they divorced and said F it, he isn't any better.
