“Unless the husband can PROVE non-access (e.g. in solitary confinement with no ‘conjugal’ visits) he is responsible, regardless of what paternity tests might say”
It is quite just and has been the basis for western civilization.
This case is an extreme that arises due to the immorality of our current value system.
He had his chance at the beginning to sort it out and not need to become the child’s provider.
Did he? because the article is not clear. Did he wait this long to have a paternity test, or was the delay the fault of the system? Makes a difference, and I don't know the answers.
I must respectfully differ. That a father should support his offspring is a foundational principle of civilization is unquestioned.
But adultery corrodes the family, and with it civilization. That is immorality.
The respondent can't even go after the actual biological father and the state won't bother. How is that just? Why not just have the judge grab any likely victim (Why would it have to be a man?) walking through the courthouse that day and assign him or her the financial responsibility?
it isn’t just. sorry. not when the guy is not thefather it isnt. besides hedid prove it. if you won’t accept dna for innocence you better not let the state accept’it for guilt, either.
this is another branch of the war on men by feminist theory. you prove 100% you’re not the dad, and the state still refuses to correct the wrong committed. he couldn,t have gotten the tests earlier b/c the stte gave him no rights and he couldn’t legally have had her tested.
this isn’t right and i don’t care what gender you are, if dna clears you of something you ought to be made right as best as possible.
