But, we are not animals, we are human and there is more to us than simply passing on our chromosomes to the next generation.

While I agree that this man has effectively incurred an emotional obligation to this child, your complacency would essentially alleviate the scofflaw father from any responsibility whatsoever. That is paternity run amok. And you know that it simply isn't right, decent, or fair. I don't know which is worse: Doing nothing to right a wrong -- or bringing the culpable party to justice.

The fact of the matter is that he's entitled to compensation for being cuckolded by his wife. Frankly, I think the best course of action would be for him to find out who the father is and sue his ass for back child support. Unfortunately, we live in a society in which judges primarily side with females in most divorce/custody/paternity suits. The man is relegated to sperm donor and indentured servant. And if even those role are shown to be undeserved, courts would prefer to look the other way -- not in the interests of the child -- but rather in the interests of getting somebody to pay, even if it's not the right man. Pathetic.
