They adopted Cameron when he was four and were unaware that he had a history of fire-setting and animal abuse. He has ADHD (Attention Deficit

Hyperactivity Disorder) and has recently been diagnosed as Bipolar. He has never done well in school and has constantly been in trouble with the police primarily for fighting and vandalizing property.

Diana has irregular hours as a health care worker. All but which one of the following statements is TRUE with respect to this case? A) Diana will likely be ordered to pay child support to Paul.
