Wait a second, 17 years??
So how old is the kid?
It sounds like you just need to wait one more year and the child will then be an adult and you will be no longer required to pay and you can head out to Costa Rica.
Am I mis-reading this?
By the way, this thread has turned into something great, thanks for all the perspectives.
Jean Paul, I've read many of your posts in the past, but have a new found respect for your eloquence and intellect, thank you for standing up to the mightier-than-thow "priest class lawyer set." Education at it's best. And these people wonder why lawyers have a bad name!

I thought he meant that he had to challenge it before turning 17 yrs old, as that was when the statute of limitation was up. Could also mean maybe its one of those special cases like an autistic kid that could force someone to prettymuch pay for life as they will always be a dependant? Just speculation on my part.

I think that the OP owes for a certain amount of back pay for child support.
That is the central issue if I am not mistaken.
If not, then I agree with you. Wait a year. Bite the bullet. Keep making the payments and then get the F out of dodge when that 18th birthday rolls around.
I just gotta say for a minute however, that I kind of feel sorry for that kid.
As someone who essentially had an absent father my entire life, I can tell you that it can do untold damage to that kids psyche.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but that might also be the attitude of the court.

Your reason and logic is sound however here is the problem as I see it. You are asking the Judge to rule on whether he has subject matter jurisdiction. By so doing you just gave him jurisdiction to decide the case. How do you think he is going to rule? That's right he will pretend to take your argument into consideration however he will ignore the entire argument and rule against you. If you give the fox the authority to decide whether he will raid the chicken coup or not how do you think he will decide? Why? You gave him authority to do so. You consented to it. You do not understand what kind of court you are in. You must first get the judge to admit what type of court he is running per the manual I sent you. He won't and will be forced to dismiss before he admits it. if says common law then you can use the rules against him etc. he won't he will tell to get legal advice and of course the counter for that is in the manual.
Otherwise you have already lost. If you decide to go ahead with your case as outlined your best bet is to also rescind your signature on the birth certificate nunc pro tunc. Notarize it and file it in the county and send a copy to the state vital statistics and any other agency where it has been used or recorded, give them 21 days to challenge it (they won't), and have a copy for the judge. Sorry to be the wet blanket and I hope you get lucky and have a judge with a modicum of decency as has happened on very rare occasions but unfortunately it is unlikely.
PS You are not going to out word smith the judge using his lifeblood statutes, that's what he does every day for his living.
By the way I am not giving "legal" advice the definition of legal is the authority by statute to do that which is otherwise unlawful. I am a lawyer in fact, not an "attorney "at" law" and there is a big difference despite what attorneys at law will tell you.
Also concerning so called "freeman" arguments. I have to laugh at those using this as a disparaging remark that somehow invalidates any argument it is pinned on. Just like the term "truther" is now somehow derogative which means seeking truth is somehow wrong and seeks to invalidate any argument that 9/11 was a conspiracy by merely pinning the label on anyone making such arguments. So it is trying to pin the label freeman on seeking freedom from tyranny supposedly makes it somehow bad. I'll wear the label "freeman" as a badge of honor any day as I seek to be a free man!

OP, I believe what is being suggested here is for you to be very careful and consider possible ramifications that can befall you.
You are proposing opening Pandora's Box, challenging the Constitutionality of legislation. I feel this is something that must be done, but it must be organized and executed by an organization or group.
What is happening is we are living within a Matrix, a man created Matrix. Our being asleep at the wheel has allowed evil persons to sneak in and basically enslave us.
The poster Duality90 is basically saying this. All the posts calling Free Men crazy are saying this. If it is being said that our government can create legislation that we MUST live by what else can our society be described as if not enslaved?
I brought up that issue on another board I visit. The situation is here in Florida a child was killed during a soccer game and what I heard on the news is that the State capitol is now meeting to suggest legislation. What will come from that meeting is some new legislation (law?) which the citizens of Florida must now live by.
I ask, "What gives them the Right/Power to do such a thing? Do the representatives not have to present their ideas to the public for a vote or at least a look over? I'm sorry but if the answer is they do not, my brothers/sisters we are living under a dictatorship!
I wonder if the Dualty90 guy realizes what is happening in this thread? He is arguing from the perspective of someone who, as has been suggested, isn't being taught the real picture. He's fighting HARD for the side of the Matrix. Somewhere along the line, apparently, we informed our government that we want them to RULE OVER us?
This Matrix we are living in is too powerful to have been created by mere men.
God help the man who actually brings light to our Matrix alone!

The only motion that I can think of that might work is to file an appeal motion for summary judgment, and to be honest with you, I do not know how this works on appeal.
A summary judgment is rendered when there is prima fascia evidence and no need for a trial. Regardless of the statute of limitations, if you could file this motion under the premise that your prima fascia evidence is that you were knowingly lead into signing a fraudulent contract then maybe it might work.
That is me just pulling something out of my rear, however...
Hey man... Put on the superman cape and go for it. I commend you for having the cajones to stand up, and I mean straight up stand up, to the system.
Down with the man!!!!!

I feel sorry for her also since I was never there for her as her mother kept her away from me since birth, I also always kinda knew that I was not the bio dad through the years.
The sad part is that her mother decided to come clean a few months back because she had "something eating at her"
I told the kid, as well as the mother that I had a right to know as well as the child. She has a right to know who her father is, not a make believe dad, but her REAL father and family.
She is about to turn 18, and all I "owe" is arrears so yes, I am willing to fight the sharks simply for the sake of decency!
BTW, Where is duality90????

Hi there OP!
At the risk of intruding on your personal life, what is the actual story behind all of this?
I'm assuming that at some point you were in a relationship with this woman, during the course of which (or after your relationship had broken down) she became pregnant with a child, and that at some point, you either believed the child to be yours and put your name on the child's birth certificate? Or did she give birth after your relationship had ceased without you present either at birth or registration of the child's birth?
I can't advise particularly on American matters of law (again, my training is in the UK), but I will hopefully try and give you what little advice I can.
Have you already had some sort of hearing by the way? Is your next appearance in court an appeal? or will this be the first time yourself and the child's mother have litigated? I presume you are appearing before a State Circuit court?
Just trying to get the basic facts so that I can hopefully offer what little advice I can.
Only problem here is that I don't know what the common-law presumptions are in Florida. In England and Wales we have a common-law presumption of paternity, as well as the various statutory rules governing attribution of parentage. On that matter you might want to consult a lawyer or hit the family law textbooks at the law library (because, at least in England, there is the presumption that if a child is born during the course of a marriage between man and wife, that child is automatically presumed to be his, unless he can rebut that presumption i.e. DNA testing, husband was absent during the period of conception et c.), because any such presumptions may still be valid outside of what the statutory regulation on parentage (legal attribution of parenthood) says.
That being said I shall try and have a look over it, although if there is anyone here who is a practicing attorney (in this thread) their contribution would probably be invaluable to you.
Best of luck!
I only have 7 days to get this motion in. My birth certificate has been voided by the powers that be as well as 100s of thousands of my country men (to combat identity theft)
I am completely lost about how to go about rescinding my signature on something that has been nulled and voided
4. I was not there during birth nor signed the birth certificate
5. 4-5 months after the birth my mother forced me to sign some papers at some office (I think it was acknowledging paternity)

I am of course open to seeing new evidence which would show the validity of the arguments,
