Robin Kidd Now with Gio the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
We had a confession for cash yesterday from Claire. I
did what I had to do to get more children
because my husband didn't want anymore. I absously flushed my
pills down the drain, I hid some ovulation kids in
the house, and I purposely got pregnant.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
So how many children do you have?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I have four, and he didn't want any more than two.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
No, he didn't.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
And we should welcome into the studio Bianca from RMO Law,
thanks for joining us. Bianca, happy to be here. You're
a family law specialist, so this is your this is
your wheelhouse, this is.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
My every day.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, okay, and we heard your very good at it
ROLLI from Romo Law sent in his best. We were
told because so many people have come back, particularly on
the text line in the last twenty four hours for
nine ninety seven three ninety seven three asking about child
support and if someone has been let's use the word entrapped, yes,

(01:29):
into this what happens with child support?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yeah, look as unfair as the situation, I have no
doubt feels from a child child support perspective, he's liable
high logical parents, adoptive parents, regardless of the situation, how
we need to look at it is child support to
write of a child. It's not a penalty, although it
probably feels that way to a lot of parents.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, yeah, wow, And yeah, so even if the circumstances,
like you know, it's proof that she's done this, you know,
those proof that they didn't. I don't know, I just
all the proof in the world to prove that they didn't.
You know, they agreed not to and she's light and
you said and trapped them.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
There's just regardless of it's a one night stand, the circumstances,
like I said, biological adoptive parents have that obligation and
duty to pay chart support.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Right, So someone came into your office and saying, listen,
I've just been hoodwinked. You know, my partner lied to
me and all those things. You wouldn't you say, don't
even bother going to court.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Definitely from a family law perspective, and look, you know
there may be avenues from a civil liability perspective, but.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
So he could that person be done for fraud?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, really, you've got to always weigh these things up with, well,
you know, you've got to present this evidence. What's this
going to cost? Really, it's probably one of those situations
where balancing up, it's not worthwhile to pursue because.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Then you're suing the mother of your kids. Yeah, they've
got to have a house and all.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Those things parent with eighteen years.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
That doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's so unfair that sometimes the law doesn't seem to
have a moral compass in stuff like this.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
I understand, and I have no doubt so many people
feel that way. But I guess we've got to look
at it from the perspective of the child, and the
child can't be punished for this situation exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Speaking of that civil suit, what about we had to
call it yesterday. Who is saying that she got a
lied to by a partner who said he was sterile,
and then got her pregnant within the first couple of months,
and now they have a child together? Would she as
she got any sort of legal standpoint to say, you
lied to me and now we've got this child, which

(03:45):
I love, but for life? Is there any legal standpoint
for that?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Look again, it's always that balancing up, potentially from that
civil liability perspective, but otherwise she's obviously got child's support rights.
There's also a thing called childbirth maintenance where she can
actually claim for essentially cost associated with the pregnancy, medical living,

(04:11):
all those kind of every day living costs that you're
out of pocket for when you're pregnant.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Okay, so tell me if in the civil how much
could you go for? How much would it cost to do?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
What would you recommend? Lawyer?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Because you're saying you've got to weigh up all the
money side of it, like to take someone to court
over this? How much would it cost?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Look, I got to say that's probably the answer the
question I get most from clients, And unfortunately the answer
is how long is the peace for string? Because it's
always how quickly can we resive this? How difficult is
everyone going to be? Does it have to go all
the way to a trial?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay, So obviously the answer is too much?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, too much? Cost?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Too much?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Okay?
