More Mayhem in GA Destined for MO?
In todays’ Atlanta Journal Constitution is the sad tale of Frank Hatley. Who was relieved of his obligation to provide child support because he was found (via DNA) to NOT be the father of a child.
Unfortunantly, Mr Hatley is now in jail. Why you ask? Because he didn’t pay child support! We know what your thinking.. “But, didn’t you just say he was found to NOT be the father and relieved of child support”?
Why yes, yes we did. But the State of Georgia wants all the monies for child support that were paid BEFORE Mr Hatley was exhonerated. And they want Mr Hatley to pay. So Mr Hatley now sits in a Georgia jail.
We are wondering just how many lawyers, judges, child support enforcement officials in Missouri will follow the letter of the law (SB141) come August 28th when it goes into effect in Missouri. Or in their quest for money they will ignore the truth just for a few more dollars into their coffers.
REF… “Court knew man jailed for a year for non-support was not child’s father“

SUCCESS!!!! SB141 IS NOW LAW
It’s been a long hard road for all of us. Your emails, phone calls, “tweets” and efforts have finally paid off. SB141 has been signed into law by Governor Jay Nixon. Paternity Reform has Arrived in Missouri!
http://governor.mo.gov/actions/ Search for 141 and it will show you that the Governor has signed the bill.
We’re not entirely out of the woods yet, however. When SB141 takes effect on August 28th, 2009 a veritable flood of legal action will begin. And how the various judges in Missouri will implement SB141 in the courts has yet to be seen.
This is what we’re focused on now… Waiting, Watching, and Recording if Missouri judges interpret “unless the court makes written findings of fact and conclusions of law that it is not in the best interest of the parties to do so” as an excuse to universally deny falsely accused men’s rights in Missouri.
So it’s a time of joy and concern. But for right now we are one happy bunch of people.
