You can help North Carolina wife fighting to stop paternity fraud
Women affected by NC paternity fraud say “no more”.
2009 is the ultimate time of change for Pennsylvania and North Carolina to say no more paternity fraud as a state supported scam against men and teenagers.
Another brave wife, Paulette Alston in NC joins US Citizens Against Paternity Fraud (US-CAPF) with her husband and victim Avon Alson to stop paternity fraud. They have stepped up to my challenge by discussing their paternity fraud story and the need for legal reform to TV and newspaper.
Avon & Paulette are committed to participating in the legislative process to reform NC similar to Georgia, Ohio and Maryland. It is vital that people discover and use their voice as “we the people” expect the court to make decisions based on truth.
Paternity Fraud should always lead to a corrected court order and requiring the mother to identify the male that caused her pregnancy. A child’s mother is the only person with all of the material facts.

The bill was the result of efforts by a Franklin County native, Avon Alston, and his wife, Paulette.
According to the Alstons, Avon Alston was mistakenly led to believe he was the father of a woman’s child in 1992 but later discovered that he was not the father.
Even armed with such evidence, a judge in 2004 denied his motion to terminate child support on the grounds that too much time had passed.
According to current law, a man has up to 60 days of the birth of a child to question paternity.
The bill, which passed the House and is being debated in the Senate, would allow a putative father the opportunity to challenge paternity after that time limit has passed.
“It’s a step in the right direction,” said Paulette Alston, who has taken up the baton regarding paternity issues and has culled support in the region and across the nation, including an Atlanta based organization — U.S. Citizens Against Paternity Fraud.
Carnell Smith, originator of the national web site and advocacy group, PaternityFraud.com, said the bill doesn’t do enough because it leaves the matter to a judge’s discretion even when the putative father is armed with genetic proof.
“Having been doing this for nine years as a lobbyist, activist, operator of a DNA service and a person that this has happened to … you can’t prevail in a court that insists on blaming the man for not getting a test before he knew that the woman had multiple partners,” Smith said.
