Within 10 years your "classic legal principle" will be negated in all states. In some it already has.

Has it really? I don't suppose you have a list or know where I might find one. I'm really curious because I didn't know this type of thing had been negated anywhere. I assume what you mean is that some states have passed laws stating that non-paternity absolves the man of child support payments?

Recent court cases show a lot of hope  (Maryland Ohio and more) With new laws being passed and precedent setting cases being decided in the duped man's favor

I agree with you by the way. There is no doubt, as the person to whom you responded stated, that it is long-standing legal principle for the declared father at birth to be responsible for the child notwithstanding later contested paternity. However, now that we have DNA testing that can eliminate any doubt when a man did not sire the child, I think that the laws will change within 10-20 years so that establishing non-paternity will absolve men of child-support obligations.
