everyone in this town knows that kid isn't his. She fucked up and got knocked up by a guy who she definately doesn't want to marry. So her people are trying to pull some major scam on america with their "got married and already having a kid" crap.
the real dad got a LOT of money to hand over the kid and shut-up. I guess he's all too willing to just "sell" his kid. Pretty fucking pathetic if you ask me.
