This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Kim Newman (P) sought child support form Bruce Wright (D). D's answer admitted paternity to P's daughter, but DNA testing subsequently showed that he is not the father of her son. The trial court ordered D to pay child support for both children. The trial court based this on D's actions of having himself listed on the birth certificate, giving the child his surname, and establishing a parent child relationship. D appealed.
