It seems to me that before any court passes down any decision on cases involving the custody of children, they should require a DNA test.

Same for adoption.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if it became a standard practice done at birth. I just don't really want it mandated.

Paternity tests cost around $400. If someone doesn't want to spend the money, why should they?

If you want a test, the court will order it, and if the man is not the father, make the mother pay for it, otherwise, the father pays for it.

Deceptive mamas might stop at nothing to discourage that which isn't legally mandated, though. By making such paternity testing required, it takes a load off of the potentially deceived father's back, and also sends the message to deceptive mamas NOT to expect to be able to get away with it. Wouldn't you agree?

I would suggest that if a mother lie about who was the father of her child, that the child be taken from her and put up for adoption. If she is such a whore that she does not know who the father is, she does not deserve the child.
No man should be forced to pay for a child that is not his.
