'CHICAGO, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Frank Hatley spent the past year in Cook County jail in South Georgia for falling behind in child support payments. However, as the court was aware, he had no children according to court documents. A DNA test even confirmed that there was no chance he was the father.

Walter Sharpe, from Philadelphia, was forced to pay more than $12,000 in child support for another man's daughter. He spent two years in jail for falling behind in child support payments. Sharpe's Petitions filed for DNA testing were denied by the judge. However, the paternity order against him was finally overturned after the girl's mother failed to show up to a court hearing.

"Paternity Fraud victims need justice and our system is broken," comments Fathers' Rights Attorney Jeffery M. Leving, publisher of LevingsDivorceMagazine.com.'
