(57,936 posts)At any rate, in the custody case, regardless of who filed it, Woody stated in his letter to the New York Times that he paid child support. If Mia got child support from Woody for Rowan, I believe she would have had to have claimed that Rowan was Woody' child, that is that Woody was the father of Rowan. Mia and Woody were apparently not married at the time. I can only repeat what I have read. A man is not financially responsible for a child merely because he had a relationship with the child's mother while the child was growing up. Same for a woman. Just because she has a relationship with the father of a child does not make her financially responsible for another woman's child. Not normally. There are exceptions such as when a man/woman adopts the child or establishes some other formal legal relationship with the child in which the man/woman accepts financial responsibility for the child.
I still say I wasn't there and don't know who is right. It may be that they both firmly believe that they are telling the truth. Just who is is difficult to say. Moses seems to take Woody's side while Rowan takes the side of his mother. I could not say who is most reliable.
