Superior Court 3/27/08 - SELENA Y. GLOVER v. PERICLES A. SEVERINO, SR.

SELENA Y. GLOVER v. PERICLES A. SEVERINO, SR.
No. 924 mda 2007 2008 PA Super 51 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 3/27/2008
Appeal from the Order entered April 25, 2007In the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster CountyDomestic Relations at No. 1995 2194
Before: KLEIN, PANELLA and KELLY, JJ.
Opinion by: KELLY, J.
Dissenting Opinion by: KLEIN, J.
Appellant, Pericles A. Severino, Sr., appeals from the order entered in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas denying his request to challenge paternity. Because we find that the trial court abused its discretion in concluding that the record did not establish fraud and in applying the doctrine of paternity by estoppel, we reverse.


With regard to fraud, Appellant argues that the only reason for the limited and sporadic contact he had with the child was Appellee’s misrepresentations, noting that she “has and continues to assure [him] that he is the biological father despite the fact that the genetic tests conclusively prove that he is not the father.” (Appellant’s Brief at 11). He also argues that he demonstrated fraud on Appellee’s part through his testimony regarding his questioning of paternity when initially informed of the pregnancy, that she told him her “tubes were tied,” and that she had other sexual partners during the time period of the conception. Thus, he insists, this showing of fraud precludes application of the doctrine of paternity by estoppel.

Additionally, he argues that he has not held himself out as the child’s father or provided paternal support such that he should be estopped from challenging his paternity. He asserts that there has never been a father-son relationship between himself and the child.....

Irresponsible woman who have unprotected sex with multiple partners and have the nerve to bring children into the world not having a clue who the fathers are, should be brought up on charges and serve time for fraud. Playing with the paternity of their children is not only criminal, it's disgusting!! Selena got exactly what she deserved. She is a liar with a couple of paternity cases against her. She is responsible for whatever happens to her son and for lying to him as well as Pericles for years! How can she sleep at night? She's the one that needs prayer. I met her a couple of times and she needs to be ashamed of herself. SHE is a TOTAL SCANK!

"PJ" looks nothing like Pericles! Hence, one of the reasons for the paternity tests, which, by the way, both concluded that HE IS NOT THE FATHER!!! Hello. My advice is for Selena to FIND THE REAL FATHER and finally start telling the truth about the situation. PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES LIKE THAT - THAT'S WHAT'S SOOOO WRONG!!!!!!
