A scaffolder who only discovered he was a father 13 years after his son was born has been hauled before the courts to face allegations he owes more than £34,000 in child support.

Scaffolder Adrian Haddon, 37, of Thornton Blackpool, who works for a local scaffolding firm was shocked when he was arrested by Lancashire Police on orders by authorities in Canada where his son lives.

They claim he owes £34,402 in child support from 16 years ago.

Adrian who was a soldier in The Royal Engineers in Canada in 1994 where he met his sons mother, He said “I was shocked”

“I never refused to pay. I wouldn’t refuse it. I just didn’t know he was mine”

“I went back in 1995 and bumped into her. I saw she had a baby but i didn’t know he was mine until a DNA test 3 years ago.

Adrian is now trying to build a relationship with his son who lives in Alberta Canada.

He said “Ive spoken to him on the phone, he wants us to have contact and hopes one day we will meet each other”.

Blackpool magistrates agreed to bail Adrian pending his appearance before a family court next week.
