Fred Silberberg: Brother of a Different Mother
Fred Silberberg: Brother of a Different Mother
Much attention has been given in the last two weeks to the disclosure that former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with the family's housekeeper, and kept that information a secret from his now-estranged wife, Maria Shriver. Most of the focus in regard to this story has been about the impact of the disclosure on Schwarzenegger's family with Maria. One can only imagine how shocking it had to be, not only to Maria, but also to the children, to learn that all of this time both Schwarzenegger and the housekeeper kept the fact of the boy's parentage a secret from Schwarzenegger's family. There has also been attention placed on the fact that the child born of the housekeeper, Mildred Baena, is almost exactly the same age as Schwarzenegger's youngest son. These two boys grew up simultaneously, not knowing that they were related. What has not been given much attention in the media, however, are the financial implications of this situation as they concern child support and the question of whether Baena has relinquished large amounts of child support that her son is entitled to the benefit of.

If everyone began using this defence tomorrow, in all of the Commonwealth courts and in the United States, the entire legal system could be brought to its knees in a matter of weeks if not days."
For those of you who have been following the John Anthony Hill (JAH) Case, it is great to be able to share that he was acquitted, on the 12th of May 2011, of the ridiculous and politically-motivated charge of attempting to "pervert the course of justice". For those of you less familiar with this landmark case, John Anthony Hill is the Producer of the documentary film "7/7 Ripple Effect".
