Absolutely!

I had to tape the show today and just finished watching it. This is my first visit to the message boards and I was so angry I had to check in. I was sickened by the cockiness of Maria...smirks, head nods and finger pointing. How dare she think that Enrique should continue to pay child support?! I know that he took the wrong approach to telling his daughter the truth and could feel the pain in knowing the damage he has done to his "daughter". In closing, Dr. Phil made the comment that the child should come before money. I agree, but what is wrong with expecting the lying, deceiving mother to put her child's interest ahead of the money and not pursued the child support but encouraged a continued relationship between the daughter and father without the payment? I didn't see where the woman attorney added anything to the subject matter. She struck me as being a big mouth and had nothing of relevance to add to this situation. She really turned my stomach. Kudos to the man who is fighting the system. By the way, I am a woman, but believe every adult needs to accept responsibility for their actions. You want money for the child? Make sure you're getting it from the person responsible.
I feel the same way. Basically, I wrote the same thing in my response. I was livid because I had the same thing happen to a friend. That child is now an adult he took care of all this time and sent to college etc. It's not right. It's not fair.

i agree with you about the women lawyer.  she made no sense and then went completely off this case and said the reason behind this all was the millions of dead beat dads out there that deny their kids and send the moms into welfare.  that had nothing to with this man.  he loved this child and was not a dead beat dad.  and just because there are bad dads out there who deny their own children, that doesnt mean a man should be forced to pay for a kid that isnt his or that he was tricked into loving.   i cant believe Dr. Phil then tried to promote her book that had nothing to with the show
