I left many months ago not planning on returning other then maybe an annual trip. Sold my condo and everything. This week I got a paternity letter from a SJ lawyer working in their Ch*ld support office. Not service of a summons or what have you, just that one of my amigas? is claiming I am the dad. It's impossible.

So, I am in the process of setting up the DNA appt with the clinic they use and see it thru. I probably don't have to do this if I decided never to go back to CR, but I don't want some kind of crap like this being in the computer at immigration if and when I do decide to visit.

Anyway, it'll be fun to be back in CR anyway despite the rain.

Her cell is disconnected. My tico buddies haven't been able to locate her. Have no clue why she is doing this, what her angle could be, baffled. Wasn't a puta, actually a pretty good person, from a good normal family, so I am dumbfounded. She knows it ain't my Ch*ld, knows the test will prove that. Maybe a muddled story of who shot John?

Any other ideas why?

No that ain't her--why? You know another nightmare or at least a pain in the ass story like this?

This one hails from near a well known beach town in the province of Aguirre. So rule out Jaco chicas.

Thanks for all the in put. The DNA exchange from here to there sounds like an option, I will call them and see if it is.

If not, I am now really thinking about the wisdom of getting trapped in Tico-legal. When catching up with the board which was alot of fun, I saw a news report a guy posted here about the lab they use in CR for paternity for Ch*ld support DNA issues, issued a statement showing 20% of the time the "putative" father--that's the legal term used in the US for guys like me-- turned out to be not the father.

So something is going on with why 1 in 5 Ticas are doing this, some aren't sure expectably, but 1 in 5 strikes me as pretty high in misconceptions of who it could possibly be in a 3-4 week period? In my case I know there is no way it is me. So, can't figure out why she is doing this, so my gut about CR says there's an angle.

And #2 as per your advice, should I really go and get jammed up? The problem with that is I'd never be able to go back to CR without crappin in my drawers thru immigrarion which I planned to do every year or two from my new home in PR without fear of getting really grabbed in a CR bureacracy nightmare.

I read in the same article I mentioned above about the 13 months of support before I could leave but when would I get it back when the results come back negative? My experience in CR says never unless I am in CR pounding on the agency's door after hiring a lawyer and a bunch of red tape. Could be wrong.

I think the ultimate q is how fast do they get results from the test to clear me. I can do 10 days in CR. My guess is DNA tests in CR is probably more alot more. So can they tie me up?

But for me the real q is if 20% of the tests are coming back as false positives, why are the girls doing this when common sense says 7-9 times, the non putas know who the dad is, and know if its him and not him, and knows it's going to come back as a false positive. Like mine. She knows I am not papa. Or maybe they don't know DNA tests are that dispositive?

Something is amiss.

There's an angle there that the gringo's haven't figured out yet.

I think you may have hit it on the head about her thinking if I don't challenge it she then could sooner or later try to lien my assets somehow. But wow, it is so out of character for this really sweet person I knew for years. And who I have talked to on the phone 4 times since I left. Never said a word to me about this. I still think a motive may be she may have got pg w/ someone her folks didn't approve of, or worse, so she laid it on me.

Not sure if her family knows what she is doing. Long time excellent friendship with her folks. Very, very religious people. They didn't have phones when I left so I can't call them, but they know a few of my tico friends. They're going to travel out to their finca and see what the parents know about this. The parents know it's impossible so maybe I can nip this thing in the bud if the parents talk to her.
