Mississippi Supreme Court to decide whether to hear child support case

Associated Press


JACKSON, Miss. - The Mississippi Supreme Court says it will decide
June 18 whether to hear the appeal of a man ordered to pay child support for
a daughter he says he never knew he had.

Last year, the state Court of Appeals ordered Joseph Griffith to pay
child support. The court, however, said the case raised questions about the
rights of men who have for a variety of reasons, including the deception of
the mother, not established a substantial relationship with a child.

The Appeals Court ruled that the case dealt only with paternity, and
the issue of custody should be addressed in a separate divorce case.

Griffith has been paying child support since 2002 when the Warren
County Chancery Court ruled he was the child's father.

Sue Ann Pell brought the paternity lawsuit against Griffith as she was
getting a divorce from Sonny Pell, who several years earlier she had claimed
was the father of her daughter, Stephanie.

Sonny Pell, according to the court record, had married Sue Pell before
Stephanie was a year old, believing the child was his.

The court record showed Sonny Pell didn't discover he wasn't the
father until the couple filed for divorce - when Stephanie was 4 - and he
sought custody. It was during the divorce proceedings that Sue Pell raised
the issue of Griffith being the biological father.

The Pells were divorced in 2002. Sonny Pell has appealed, challenging
the Warren County chancellor's decision that he had no legal standing to
seek custody or visitation.

Sonny Pell was not a party to the paternity case. However, he joined
Griffith in motion that sought to have Sonny Pell named the child's legal
father and Griffith to give up all his parental rights. Griffith had said he
had no desire to support a child to whom he was apparently a stranger. The
chancellor denied the motion.

Default Mississippi Supreme Court to decide whether to hear child support case

I wonder what the motivation for "MOM's" revelation was.
1. Was she simply trying to avoid sharing custody with the man who
shared raising the child?
2. Did she find out that the psuedofather actually made less money than
the biological dad?

Either way this shines a very bright light on her (hmm, she happens to be a
woman) and on custody battles. Look at what a C U Next Tuesday she is.
Can the real father sue the mother for loss of affection or some other legal
mumbo jumbo?


Now did the psuedofather make less money than the biological father.
