Reply #19: but it's still ultimately up to the judge to determine

'the best interests of the child,' unfortunately...I am reminded of a case here about 10-12 years ago where a young girl went to court seeking child support (who evidently was getting around, because she had to narrow down the list of potential fathers to FOUR!!) and since the first three candidates were unemployed lowlifes with criminal records, the judge said the fourth guy had to pay, even though it was proven that he was NOT the father (the fourth guy was older and more responsible, and had a steady job with benefits)

ugh---my snip cannot come fast enough
