A mum has been ordered to repay child support to a man she claimed was her son's father after he found he could not conceive.
The man spent nine years believing the child was his after what he says was a "one-night stand".
He told a court he believed the mother had manipulated the situation.
The woman has now been ordered to repay the $3730 he paid in child support.
The couple, who cannot be identified, met on the internet in late 2000 and had a brief rendezvous in 2001.
They lived in different states.
The woman claimed she believed he was the only person who could have been the dad.
She had him sign a statutory declaration stating he was the father so she could receive the family tax benefit.
But the man discovered last year, while trying to conceive a child with his new partner, that he was "physiologically incapable of conceiving a child".
A test later excluded him as the father.
If you are signing statements acknowledging paternity, without a test, for a woman you met online...The man spent nine years believing the child was his after what he says was a "one-night stand".

Well, more than anything I'm making fun of the sum. 4 grand in child support over 9 years is just piss. That's $34 a month :|

The flat rate in the UK is £5 a month, I think. Maybe it's £ a week. But anyway, how long it took to accumulate is irrelevant. It was spent at such a low level he never noticed losing it, but he'll certainly notice regaining it.
I once lost my wallet with £50 in it, and despite the fact that I'd broken even instead of making a profit, I was overjoyed at getting £50 when I found my wallet again months later.

I only skim read it a few weeks ago when I was bored so I might be wrong, but I think that there's a minimum that is to be paid, and then you pay more depending on circumstances.
