I've also had the not very pleasant experience of being mentioned in the press without the reporter even bothering to contact me, let alone having the courtesy to let me know that the story was being published - story here (see about two thirds of the way down).
Very cleverly, they just stopped short of printing something I could clearly, and without any argument, do them for. They got the reference from an interview with me that was quoted in a much longer article in another publication (can't post a link, as you need a subscription to read archived articles on their site) about standards of literacy among British university students. The Daily Mail boiled it down to two lines, completely out of context. The bit about my having 'left in fury' is complete and utter fiction - I left because I applied for and got a job in a better university! And as for the fury part, there is one individual in my former workplace who I wasn't sorry to see the back of (I'm sure the feeling is mutual), but many others who I'm on very good terms with and still meet socially. The first I knew about this Daily Mail article was when one of my students asked me about it (it isn't a paper I read normally).
The bottom line is that the journalists aren't going to waste their time actually speaking to the subject of a story unless they absolutely have to, either to get information they don't have or to cover their asses. If it's in the public domain elsewhere - even if in a totally different context - that's good enough for them.

150 wk is 600 month... most people can't pay for life and have six hundred dollars lying around. I pay that much as well, and it takes me and my current wife to barely make ends meet.
I have always believed that the person with custody better have the means to pay for the kids on their own or be willing to give them up to someone that does, not drain your ex until they are homeless so that you can get an xbox and a new car.
the state of Utah actually THREW OUT both of my exes child support claims. The first one threw it out when they discovered that she had left the state SIX YEARS EARLIER without notifying them, and making NO arrangments for them to come visit me. After a year of no payment, she changed her tune quickly.
The other one just was getting mean and vindictive, threatening to take away my paternal rights because I was seven minutes late to the day care ONCE due to a major wreck on I15. Didn't matter to her, but the judge had enough of all the threats.
I pay my child support now even though there is no longer any order to do so. I of course held off until I got what I wanted and they know I can kill it at any time.
I got lucky, but I wouldn't want to get lucky this way again. Too much pain involved.
I feel for you, I really do. So many women get a guy, get a baby, then get packing and rape them financially for the rest of their lives.
PRENUP... don't get hitched without one. Prevents this kind of crap.
Ciao
