Multi-millionaire and DUI defendant John Goodman sparked outrage when he adopted his girlfriend last month in what many believe is a crafty move to avoid paying compensation to the family whose son he killed while driving drunk, and now his own children are demanding a judge throw the adoption out of court.

Attorneys representing the guardian of Goodman’s biological children have filed a motion at the Miami-Dade court requesting that the 48-year-old’s adoption of Heather Anne Hutchins, 42, be blocked, reported the Palm Beach Post.

"I have never seen anything like this in my 31, 32 years practicing law," Miami attorney Joseph Rebak said Wednesday of the adoption. "Obviously we think it's wrong and we are hoping to have it set aside."

“While there is nothing illegal about this relationship. It is odd, weird and against our societal norms,” Florida-based marital and family law attorney Ben Hodas told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
