"In my state, if a child is born to a legally married man and woman, the child is legally theirs"

So to be fair, if I'm married and have an fling with some other women, the offspring should be the responsibility of my wife? It should be legally hers because she is married to me?

I know a woman who has a child from an affair she had with a married man, she sued and won child support. I heard his wife took the 1/4 loss of his income hard ---but not so hard because the wife stayed with the cheater.

To be fair, this scenario has been the most common by far, until women's liberation freed women to behave as sexually immoral as men. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it pinches a bit, eh?

The more I read, the more that I saw this post avoided.

A great point and totally disregarded.


Stay safe; stay armed.

Fairness has nothing to do with it. We're talking law here, and the law (in this state) is if a married woman bears a child the law presumes the child is her husband's, and he bears financial responsibility for it.
