thedailymirror--2020-06-27--Dad learns daughter isn't his - but he's still made to pay child maintenance

A man who learned his daughter was not biologically his hit out after he was forced to continue paying child maintenance .
The dad had paid £38,000 over 14 years before his ex made the bombshell revelation .
He was told by the Child Maintenance Service ( CMS ) had he would not have to pay ongoing maintenance - but the organisation refused to wipe the £2,000 arrears on the case .
Since the devastating revelation last October , the CMS recalculated a payment of £36.40 per month - despite the CMS acknowledging the man no longer needed to pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the parent of this child '' , Hull Live reports .
The man - who can not be named to protect the privacy of the child in the case - is a carer for his two disabled children .
He said : `` As someone who is currently paying for a child that the CMS have confirmed is not mine , I think it is very important to highlight how they get away with what is effectively breaking the law .
`` At the end of last year my ex told me my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was 14 years old at the time came as a bit of a shock .
`` I was obviously devastated , especially as I am a father of two disabled boys who I care for full time .
`` I have literally given my ex tens of thousands over the last 14 years that could have been spent on them , although I am more upset because I loved my 'daughter ' with all my heart and did my best for her .
`` Anyway , long story short , the CMS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the past totalling £2,000 and that I still had to pay .
`` I asked how that works because the child is not mine and they had confirmed that .
So here I am paying arrears I do not owe , for a child that is not mine .
`` It is a farce and the CMS should be ashamed . ''
When the man disputed the arrears payments the CMS told him he would need a DNA test to prove he was not her natural father .
The man agreed , however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to respond to the request for a DNA test .
Hull West and Hessle MP Emma Hardy even stepped in to urge the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) , which oversees the CMS , to `` urgently review '' the case with a view to writing off any alleged arrears but the CMS replied and stated he was still liable for any arrears .
In a letter seen by Hull Live , a Senior Resolution Manager told the MP the CMS had attempted to contact the girl 's mum after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not respond , therefore the case for ongoing maintenance was stopped on October 2 .
However , the Resolution Leader said the man still has to pay arrears relating to dates between March 2014 and October 2019 because the CMS has `` not received any proof that he is not her natural father '' in the form of a DNA test .
The letter says : `` We decided to close the case .
To clarify , the case was closed with effect from 2 October 2019 as a result of Mrs [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our requests for information .
`` We have not received any proof that Mr [ name ] is not her natural father .
I trust this clarifies our position . ''
The dad , who worked full time for more than 20 years until he became full time carer of his two disabled children , says he was utterly shocked .
He said : `` Basically their argument is that I have to prove I am not the father with a DNA test .
`` How can I possibly do that ?
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a DNA test when she has refused and confirmed to me I am not the father .
`` It is a complete joke .
Even if I did not pay between 2014 and 2019 - which I did pay anyway - it would not come to nearly £2,000 in arrears .
`` It is not about the money but I spent a fortune on her , which I do not regret .
I did everything a proper father should do but the CMS have just treated me with utter contempt .
`` The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child that they acknowledged was not mine .
I am not on the birth certificate .
`` My anger is aimed at them , their lack of compassion .
I want to do this so others do not go through what I have .
`` Basically they are sending money to my ex that they steal from my money every week for a child they have acknowledged is not mine .

The father, from Hull, has hit out at the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) after he paid £38,000 over 14 years before learning that the girl he helped raise wasn't his
Dad forced to keep paying child maintenance after finding out daughter isn't his
A man who learned his daughter was not biologically his hit out after he was forced to continue paying child maintenance.
The dad had paid £38,000 over 14 years before his ex made the bombshell revelation.
He was told by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) had he would not have to pay ongoing maintenance - but the organisation refused to wipe the £2,000 arrears on the case.
Since the devastating revelation last October, the CMS recalculated a payment of £36.40 per month - despite the CMS acknowledging the man no longer needed to pay ongoing maintenance because he "is not the parent of this child", Hull Live reports.
The man - who cannot be named to protect the privacy of the child in the case - is a carer for his two disabled children.
He said: "As someone who is currently paying for a child that the CMS have confirmed is not mine, I think it is very important to highlight how they get away with what is effectively breaking the law.
"At the end of last year my ex told me my daughter was not mine, which considering she was 14 years old at the time came as a bit of a shock.
"I was obviously devastated, especially as I am a father of two disabled boys who I care for full time.

"I have literally given my ex tens of thousands over the last 14 years that could have been spent on them, although I am more upset because I loved my 'daughter' with all my heart and did my best for her.
"Anyway, long story short, the CMS said that I had missed payments in the past totalling £2,000 and that I still had to pay.
"I asked how that works because the child is not mine and they had confirmed that. So here I am paying arrears I do not owe, for a child that is not mine.
"It is a farce and the CMS should be ashamed."
When the man disputed the arrears payments the CMS told him he would need a DNA test to prove he was not her natural father. The man agreed, however, the mum in the case refused to respond to the request for a DNA test.
Hull West and Hessle MP Emma Hardy even stepped in to urge the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which oversees the CMS, to "urgently review" the case with a view to writing off any alleged arrears but the CMS replied and stated he was still liable for any arrears.
Image: hulldailymail WS) hulldailymail WS)
In a letter seen by Hull Live, a Senior Resolution Manager told the MP the CMS had attempted to contact the girl's mum after the man disputed parentage and she did not respond, therefore the case for ongoing maintenance was stopped on October 2.
However, the Resolution Leader said the man still has to pay arrears relating to dates between March 2014 and October 2019 because the CMS has "not received any proof that he is not her natural father" in the form of a DNA test.
The letter says: "We decided to close the case. To clarify, the case was closed with effect from 2 October 2019 as a result of Mrs [name]'s failure to respond to our requests for information.

"We have not received any proof that Mr [name] is not her natural father. I trust this clarifies our position."
The dad, who worked full time for more than 20 years until he became full time carer of his two disabled children, says he was utterly shocked.
He said: "Basically their argument is that I have to prove I am not the father with a DNA test.
"How can I possibly do that? I cannot force my ex to allow a DNA test when she has refused and confirmed to me I am not the father.
"It is a complete joke. Even if I did not pay between 2014 and 2019 - which I did pay anyway - it would not come to nearly £2,000 in arrears.
"It is not about the money but I spent a fortune on her, which I do not regret. I did everything a proper father should do but the CMS have just treated me with utter contempt.
"The CMS took money from me for a child that they acknowledged was not mine. I am not on the birth certificate.
"My anger is aimed at them, their lack of compassion. I want to do this so others do not go through what I have.
"Basically they are sending money to my ex that they steal from my money every week for a child they have acknowledged is not mine.
"Once the arrears are paid that will be the end but how can I possibly owe money if I am not the father?
"That surely is not legal in any aspect, well except where the CMS are concerned, where the law does not apply to them.
"Honestly, these people are a nightmare, no wonder people kill themselves, I felt like that many times with them. The stress they cause is unbelievable."
It was only when Hull Live contacted the CMS on the Hull dad's behalf the organisation made a U-turn and agreed to review the case and wipe the arrears.
The man - who said he had no reason to believe the child was not his - has said he can now finally move on with his life.
On being told the CMS would close the case fully, he said: "I could not have done this without your help, so thank you so much.
"I am still frustrated it has taken me to expose my personal life to get to the truth.
"I am no victim. I have two wonderful kids, an amazing better half and blessed beyond my wildest dreams, so I would rather focus on that than have negativity in my life - which is why I will be delighted when the CMS are finally out of my life and I can look to the future."
Emma Hardy said the case should have been resolved without the input of an MP and a journalist.
She said: "The many failings of the CMS are evident in the number of people who contact me requiring support and this needs to be resolved at a governmental level.
"The government’s inflexible and unflinching child maintenance policy causes suffering for both parents and children.
"I am very pleased that justice was served without me having to escalate this to the Director General for Services Excellence, as offered to the constituent, or for myself to raise the case in Parliament, but it really shouldn't take an MP and a journalist for this to happen.”
What the CMS says
A spokeswoman for the CMS told Hull Live the organisation had reviewed the man's case - which she described as a "terrible situation".
She said: "Following further information, we have reviewed the case and will be in contact with him as soon as possible to discuss our decision.
"Arrears were incurred before the case was closed in October 2019.
"Following our review of the case, we have decided that Mr [name] does not have to pay arrears."
