Endorsements

Default Paternity Judgment Innocence Project Endorsement Statement

Many unsuspecting men have been trapped by default judgments into paying 18 years of child support for children who are not theirs and who, in many cases, they’ve never even met. The undersigned believe it is time to end this cruel practice.
