When Deana Byers married Steven Byers, she was pregnant with another man's child. Shortly after the marriage, Deana gave birth. The marriage lasted only two months, and the couple separated. In divorce proceedings, Deana sought child support. She claimed that Steven had orally promised to support the child if Deana would marry him. Steven claims he never made the promise. Comment on the outcome.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The outcome of this case would be that Steven Byers will not have to pay child support because this has not been mentioned by him anywhere in any written format.

Explanation:

In the above situation at the time when Deana and Steven married, they nowhere mentioned that Steven would look after the child in the future. Deana claimed that Steven had given his words orally to look after the child. In this scenario, the result depends totally on the written statements which were missing here. Hence, Steven would not have to support the upbringing of the child in any way.
