Confused?!

I know this guy that was away for a school sponsered tennis match, Corpus Christy, Tx. His friends and he went out to clubs one night and were pretty drunk. This girl that had wanted to go out with him years ago found out where he was and met him there. She lives about 7 hours away, San Angelo, Tx. He told his friends he didnt want to see her, and continued to drink. Well, she met up with them and she was not drinkin, if so very little. He doesnt remember what happened but 2 weeks later she called him and told him she was pregnant. He had a paternaty test done and he in fact is the father. Today, they had a negotiation type thing set up, which he talked over the phone, because she is so far away. He is ordered to pay 20% of his income in childsupport, plus insurance, plus back pay. If he decides to go to court does he have a chance in filing possible rape charges? could he win? could he get the payment lowered? O and he wants nothing to do with the child. He doesnt want to be in its life or ever see it.

It is totally ridiculous for your friend to cry rape and totally ludicrous. He needs an attorney to make sure he is not getting hosed in CS but if this child is his and paternity has been done, he must pay child support. He does not have to see the child but he must support the child for now. Dad really need to get an attorney just to make sure what he is being ordered to pay is fair. Also I would make sure this paternity test was done correctly as well. if he is carrying health insurance on the child then he should get a slight reduction in CS. did he show up at any of the hearings?

THey only had one hearing. And he did it over the phone because she is so far away. And the insurance is goin to be under her name

well honestly if Dad is going to support the child he might as well try to get some visitation. He can certainly ask to claim the child on taxes too, was this covered? He really should see an attorney. I wouldn't even push the so called rape issue.
