I was personally involved in that case, the Franke case. I know the Dad very well. I helped him win his appeal to this ruling, doing it pro se.  The Illinois Apellate case reversed Judge Condon's ruling. Totally overturned it.

He had to post a bond to avoid jail time, that's how he avoided it. Also, in court, Judge Condon told Franke that he'd would garnish 100% of his paycheck as well, which I think is NOT legal to do!  There was so much wrong in what that judge did. Judge Condon was transferred soon after that hearing to criminal court.  

I know a guy who tried this and it worked:  bribery.  Tell her that if she wanted, you could take temporary custody of your daughter, but you will still pay her the child support. Tell her you'd like to try it for just 6 months, that you'll fly your daughter to visit, etc. make it sound like an offer she can't refuse.  

A guy I know had 2 kids with XGF. She was a lot like your X. He offered to take one kid, still pay support for 2 kids.  Then after a few months, he offered to take the other kid, still paying her support for 2 kids. After one year, he went to court and got full custody. The judge was not amused with her at all, selling her kids to the X!!!  

It sounds like she is playing head games with him. If she put some other guys name on the birth certificate, that's the guy they go after first if she gets a child support order.  There really is nothing you CAN do, unless you can find out if she is getting welfare benefits, you could write to the PA office and see if paternity has been established for that child already.  

That's what I would do.  If paternity hasn't been established, they may open up the case, and have DNA done with your hubby, but then he's going to have to pay child support.  From what I have learned, they will base it on Texas guidelines most likely--that's what they did with my brother, the mom lived in Ohio, he lived in Texas.  Another friend lived in Minn, and her X lived in Texas and they used Texas guidelines.... just as an example.  

If he does what FatherTIme says, and she still refuses visitations, depending on your state that he lives in, he may be able to eventually get custody. You have to DOCUMENT each and every refusal of visitation and any other kinds of interferences he encounters.

This is the deal:  There is a coupe I know. Both are in a second marriage. His XW and her XH have found each other on blogs/phone.  the XW has offered to give the XH all the guys financial information she got when they did their child support.

He's afraid of the XH using his social security for fraud purposes.  Can he do anything to stop this?
