In a news story published by Herald Sun, one man tried filing suit, claiming he’s not responsible for paying child support because he learned there is a possibility his father could be the true biological father of the child in question. He subsequently requested paternity testing to determine the truth.

The man’s request for paternity testing was denied by a Federal Magistrate.

A court dismissed the application submitted by the man who claimed he was not liable for paying child support of the now-teenage child . A paternity test may resolve this issue; however, the court denied his request because the man was aware of the affair between his father and the mother of the child as early as 2003 and neglected to follow through with action then.

The Magistrate believes the man is simply trying to get out of paying child support, even though the man’s lawyer claimed it was because the child had the right to know who the true biological father is.

Some paternity test stories are hard to share, especially if they involve missing children.

A little girl has gone missing. Abducted by her potential father, the little girl is nowhere to be found. The alleged father is in jail accused of her abduction, and he’s not talking.

‘Baby Kate’ disappeared on June 29, 2011 on the day the family was scheduled to go in for paternity testing. Sean Michael Phillips, the potential father, baby Kate, and Ariel Courtland, the child’s mother, were scheduled to go to a collection facility to have their DNA collected . According to Ms. Courtland, Mr. Phillips drove them to the Department of Human Services instead. His intention was to have the child put up for adoption. Ms. Courtland indicated Mr. Phillips could not bear to tell his parents he fathered another child (by the same mother). He did not want to tell them the truth. Ms. Courtland believed if she had paternity testing results in hand, the couple could take that evidence to his parents and introduce them to baby Kate; however, Mr. Phillips had different plans.

Mr. Phillips was scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan in August. As a member of the Michigan Army National Guard’s 125th Infantry Battalion based in Flint. Now he is charged with kidnapping 5-month-old Katherine Shelbie-Elizabeth Phillips.

After Ms. Courtland demanded Mr. Phillips take her and baby Kate home after the visit to DHS, Ms. Courtland claimed that when she went to get a stroller from her apartment Mr. Phillips drove off with the child in the car. Mr. Phillips was found later at a home owned by his parents with no baby Kate to be found. Mr. Phillips now sits in jail on $500,000 bond and is not saying what happened to baby Kate, or where she may be. Ms. Courtland has visited Mr. Phillips at the jail but does not feel she will get any information from him if she tries to push for information. According to her, Mr. Phillips walks away when she brings up Kate’s name. As her mother, she holds on to hope that Kate is still alive.
