Wow, this is great news. I've never understood how someone could think that the men affected by this change were being fairly treated.

If only Nebraska would allow me to sue the ex for the kids that arent mine. It would be nice if I could make her pay for fucking them up with her crazy and bullshit too, but that wont happen. I just get to fix her fuck up.

I don't want to not live in Texas anymore.

Really though, this just all about sealed my decision to move to Austin in the near future. Hell yes!

You know, this really needed the text of the damn bill. Being told what a law says is fucking useless.

A step in the right direction, though I'm sure feminists will complain about it as always as many of them believe women are entitled to do this.

It is possible, then, that those women who have been fraudulently extorting monies from those targeted by their scams, will become liable to the state for restitution of the money they have illicitly collected.

Fucking yes! Maybe now they'll be forced to own up to their decisions instead of forcing those poor men to pay for her despicable actions. Edit: "Cue" feminists arguing about how this is sexist.

One small step for man one giant leap for fatherhood.

This should go over like a lead zeppelin in some circles.

holy shit, that's like good news, and makes sense. never thought i'd say this, but nice work Texas!

Feminist MRA here:

FUCKING FINALLY.

When there are laws on the books that blatantly favor one group over another, something is very wrong and needs to be fixed. It's sickening that the original law was ever on the books in the first place... Every kindergartener could tell you that it's absurdly unfair.

When feminists fight against men instead of for women, they are doing all of society a disservice. I'm glad this step has been taken toward legitimate equality, and I hope that all men who've been screwed over by this law in the past get their money back... with interest.

Edit: Really? You're downvoting someone who is ON YOUR SIDE and hopes that fraud will be punished and that the men who've been screwed over will be repaid? How does that make any sense? Explain why I'm being downvoted for thinking that men getting fucked over is bad. Is it because I identified myself as feminist AND an MRA?

Not all feminists are bad. Some of them are on your side.

Hmm... I didn't know this was an issue in TX.

The Texas Attorney Generals office was kind enough to type of the Adjudication of Paternity for me when I got divorced 8 months ago and used DNA evidence to exclude me as the father.

There never was a question that I was not going to pay child support for the child that was not mine, but born while I was married.

Hey, feminist here. Just wanted to let you know that, nope, we think this is just as fucking awesome as you do.

TheRealPariah · 2011-09-19T21:08:23+00:00

Just what we need: more laws! It's not as if common law fraud covers paternity fraud, we should probably put another playing card into the house of cards.
