(57,936 posts)and her daughter. I wasn't there when the events happened.
But I do think it is extremely odd for a mother to name one of her children after the judge in her custody case.
Normally, when people get out of a family law or child protection court, they want to turn over a new leaf or in some bitter cases, get revenge. Either way, I have never heard of a person naming a child after the judge in a child custody case. That seems rather bizarre.
And as Woody Allen points out, if Mia Farrow argued in court that a child was Woody Allen's and asked Woody to pay alimony for that child then later admits or claims that the child was actually fathered by Frank Sinatra it is kind of hard to put much faith in what she says. If the child was Frank Sinatra's why didn't she sue him for the child support? If there was a doubt, why didn't she, at some point alert the judge to her doubt and ask for a paternity test. It still isn't too late for that, and Mia could certainly afford to repay the alimony to Woody Allen if he paid it under false pretenses.
Maybe I am approaching this too technically and examining the statements of unreliable sources to carefully, but something here is amiss. Maybe they are both lying. I don't know. I will never know. So I really can't take sides.
