I am disturbed about the injustice perpetrated on Mr. Carnell Alexander. I am further disturbed about the anger directed at this innocent man by Circuit Court Judge Kathleen McCarthy, captured on film, and her complete lack of sympathy for a man who is the proven victim of lies, including a lie by a process server, who is an officer of the court.



I demand that: Judge McCarthy recuse herself from Mr. Alexander’s case; She be demoted from her post as Presiding Judge of the Family Division of the Third Judicial Court of Michigan; That Mr. Alexander be relieved of his requirement to pay child support for a child that is not his; or, if the statutes do not allow this, the Court use its discretion to create a payment plan requiring him to pay $1 per year.

Michigan Judge ‘Outraged’ in False Paternity Case; Guess at Whom

By Robert Franklin, Esq, Member, National Board of Directors, National Parents Organization





So the state brought a legal action against Alexander to repay it for the benefits paid the mother, plus child support. But Alexander was never served with notice of the suit against him. The process server signed an affidavit saying he’d served Alexander at a particular residence, but Alexander can prove he didn’t receive it. How? Because Alexander was in jail on the date he was supposedly served with notice. A Michigan judge has pronounced herself “outraged” at Carnell Alexander’s case. Alexander is the Michigan man whom the state is dunning for $30,000 in back child support for a child all acknowledge isn’t his. Way back in the early 90s, a woman who had a child received federal benefits under the aid to Families with Dependent Children program. That meant she was required to name the child’s father. She named Alexander despite her admission that she knew at the time that he wasn’t the dad.So the state brought a legal action against Alexander to repay it for the benefits paid the mother, plus child support.
