1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Imagine this, It's the Jubill Show. It's payday, and you

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: log into your bank account and realize that the take

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: from the past few weeks of working your fingers to

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: the bone seems a little bit light. So you start

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: inspecting your check and realize that you've been paying child

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: support for a kid that you don't know, that lives

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: in a different state, and that wasn't created by you

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: doing the Louisiana shuffle with your mother. And then you

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: call to say, hey, that baby isn't mine, but the

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: powers that be all like, whatever, you have to pay

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: for the kid. Anyway, you'd be angry, right, Yeah, Well,

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: that's a real thing that could happen to you. And

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: I say that because there's a story going viral. It's crazy,

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: but also as people freaked out that their hard earned

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: money could just be taken away from them to pay

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: for a kid who isn't theirs and there's nothing they

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: can do about it. Here's the story. A forty five

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: year old dude in Dallas, who already pays child support

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: for two daughters in Texas, first learned something was wrong

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: after receiving a formal notice demanding fourteen hundred dollars in

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: back child support for a five year old girl that

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: lives in Florida, a state that he's never lived in, visited,

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: or accidentally to father to child in that he knows of.

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: A deeper review of his.

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Pay stuffs revealed that, starting in January twenty twenty three,

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: the state had quietly added a third child to his

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: wage garnishment, deducting an extra one hundred and twenty six

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: dollars per paycheck.

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: For child support. Oh random?

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: Why for a kid that isn't his, lives in a

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: state that he's never even been in, and he's paying

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: child support for him? He said, I just assumed it

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: was taxes or inflation or whatever. And then he checked

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: it out and he found out that they were taking

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: child support for a kid who isn't his at all,

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: He's never met and lives in a different state. After

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: tracking down the child's mother in Florida and confirming there

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: was a clerical mix up involving another man with the

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: same perst and last name, oh wowch sucks yeah, officials initially,

40
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: officials initially assured him the issue would be corrected. However,

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: last week, the woman filed a lawsuit requesting that the

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: payments remain in place, what citing a financial alliance, and

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: that the administrative continuity, and that her filing what her filing.

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Describes as good faith receipt.

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Of funds because she basically doesn't want to stop receiving

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: child support because they probably can't track down the other dude.

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: I was about to say, yeah, that's.

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about a guy who's making national headlines because

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: his wages were garnished for child support for a kid

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: that isn't his, that lives in a different state that he's,

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: and the woman is now suing him, saying that she

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: doesn't want the payments to stop, even though she knows

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: the kid is in his Her attorney argued that while

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: the identity error is unfortunate, the child has been supported

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: for three years under a law full court order and

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: a sudden stop in payments could negatively impact the household.

58
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: It goes on to say, and while this man may

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: have never met the child or the mother and is

60
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: definitely not the biological father, he has become. He has

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: been paying support, and he has become their financial father

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: figure actually took this and the lack of support would

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: just perpetuate another absent father in the child's life, and

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: would retraumatize the mother who has become dependent on the money,

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: because it would be another man leaving her empty handed.

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: It was like one hundred and twenty four dollars a

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: month or something like that. Yeah, he's been paying it

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: for years, right, but to be going through all this

69
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: legal stuff like for that amount seems ridiculous to me.

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: I just think it's such a shocking response.

71
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: If you find out you've been taking money from somebody

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: that it shouldn't be yours, I'd.

73
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: Be like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: Let me find a way to repay you that not.

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Like, no, I can't find the real dad, So I

76
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: want this guy to keep paying child support for my kid.

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: It's hard out here. Maybe that's the one hundred and

78
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: twenty four dollars we're keeping the lights on.

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

80
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: What other people do?

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: Just go to some other dude, make them fall in

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: love with you, and then.

83
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: He could pay for it and only fans account. That's

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: right there, answer those of all the answers.

85
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the state confirmed that it is an accident and

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: a clerical error, but it will continue to garnish the

87
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: man's wages because it's a process, The process of fixing

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: it would take several weeks to several fiscal quarters to

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: figure out.

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: So they're just going to continue to garnish the guy's wages.

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, who's lazy enough? Like what that's the

92
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: way the law works, honestly. Like, I've been through a

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: divorce and some custody not custody stuff, but child support stuff,

94
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: and you definitely just have to go with it until

95
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: you fight it.

96
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: The worse things are crazy, right, because like it is insane.

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: Somebody could like I literally had money stolen from an

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: account of mine, right, quite quite a few dollars, And

99
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, if that would happen on the street, right,

100
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: But this person went into an account that they're currently

101
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: not supposed to be in thousands of dollars. That would

102
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: be a felony. Am I correct? And They're like yeah,

103
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: but this is a divorce, it's different, And I'm like,

104
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: how is that different? Can I call the police and say, hey,

105
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: this is a felony. This person stole thousands of dollars

106
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: from my account And they're like, no, they don't.

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: You can, they don't. They won't give it the time because.

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Love.

109
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: I feel like they're just like, it was your fault

110
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: to marry this person, so now everything that happens after

111
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: the fact is now your fault too. I'm not saying

112
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: that's what it's crazy. I'm just saying that that could

113
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 3: be what it is. And sometimes I do think that.

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: We're talking about the stories that's gone viral and has

115
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people freaked out because of what the

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: government is doing. In the case, but a man was

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: having his wages garners for child support for a child

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: that isn't his, that he's never met, that lives in

119
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: a different state. The woman doesn't want the child support

120
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: to stop because she doesn't want time to go away,

121
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: so she wants to sue to keep it going, and

122
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: the government has just been like, were We're gonna keep

123
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: guarding you're waged. A spokesperson for the government explained that

124
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: stopping garnishment prematurely could create accounting complications, and they said

125
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: it's easier to keep taking the money. They literally said,

126
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: it's just that you don't have to do anything. They

127
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: said they would have to figure out who has been

128
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: taking it. We'd first have to locate the real father,

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: and that involves a lot of paperwork.

130
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, you have to do your job.

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: Okay, well, now find this guy and all my money's

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: getting taken away. I'm going to demand to know the child.

133
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to.

134
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: Demand cards every Father's day. I'm going to be like,

135
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: tell me you love me every day, five times a day,

136
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: Like you got to have some kind of gifts, Like

137
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: if the kid is cool, then maybe you'll feel a

138
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: little bit better about being like completely like stolen from

139
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: you know.

140
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: When the man visited the Attorney General's office, staff reportedly

141
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: pulled up a photo of the actual father who has

142
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: dreadlocks the other guys. I don't know why they felt

143
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: to put the factor there, and he said that ain't me,

144
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and despite acknowledging their officials warned him that suing the

145
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: state would likely cost more in legal fees that he's

146
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: trying to recover. So basically like, if you sue us,

147
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: it's going to cost you more, so you might as

148
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: well just keep taking it.

149
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: I would rather just sue just for the help.

150
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: Right now you're trying to put for now, the dude

151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: is still paying child support for two dollars that are

152
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: his one. He's never met a state that he's never

153
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: lived in and being told eventually he might get his

154
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: money back.

155
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: Started really, I'm dead opportunities.

156
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: The man is still having his pay stubs garnished to

157
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,880
