On Aug. 31, a small but precedent-setting case was decided in the Superior Court of New Jersey. The plaintiff discovered he was not the biological father of his eldest 'son', now in his 30s. The court affirmed the duped dad's legal right to sue the natural father for the cost of raising the 'child' and removed some limitations imposed by a lower court.
The precedent: for the first time, New Jersey has extended a clear statutory deadline for filing on paternity cases. For the first time, a biological parent may be forced to pay child support for an offspring emancipated over 15 years ago.
The significance: family courts are beginning to reflect a growing impatience with paternity fraud; perhaps this is in reaction to a shift in societal attitudes.
Predictably, the pathbreaking New Jersey decision raises more questions. For example, if a deliberate fraud was perpetrated for 30 years by both the biological mother and father, why is only the father held liable?

its a two way street.....if the courts order him to pay, then he has the right to help parent the child........
you see, there is a whole lot of ramifications about children.....
personally, I would love to "find" a grandchild somewhere to love....my kids aren't producing yet.....
I even had these terrible evil thoughts that maybe my son would meet a woman who already had kids and I would have instant grandchildren......LOL
give up the love of that child......
OTOH.....it says something about men who have to prove in the labortory that they are not the father,doesn't it......it says that they don't KNOW FOR SURE and that indicates they have been screwing around without contraception and probably without true love....
it all goes back to morals.......you take your chances when you decide that morals don't apply to you.....
find a true companion, get married, and stay married.....its the best way, whether you believe in God or not....
How do you go about proving her statement to be a lie?
I've just got to say if some men would stop trying to meet and have sex with women they meet in strip clubs, or women that drink or do drugs as heavy as they do, or women that have as loose morals as they do, then marriage and children would not be a problem....
if you shack up with a drunk, a druggie, a cheap trashy "looker" ....which is why men go after them....then what do you expect them to turn out to be?.....
you can't change men and you can't change women.....
Have you been watching Maury?
I don't always agree with you, but you have it nailed on this thread. Heck, some people take more care picking a restaurant that a mate.
In some states (Massachusetts being one),when you're in
this kind of situation it's not the guy and the gal that go at it in court,it's the guy and the state.So the thought
of wearing her down probably wouldn't work.
Get real. When female cheaters (cuckolded) get outed by DNA tests its a great day. Women will have to adjust to this new reality of DNA testing and that men won't be paying for children made by other men. That's the duty of the guy that the wife or girl friend had fun in the sack with.
no
The Nazis from NOW will surely be displeased.
These are the situations that wind up with the expectant mother getting murdered. It's a solution to 18 years of paying for a fling.
