I read of a case a few years ago where a guy found he wasn
t the real father of a kid. The judge ruled that since he had assumed responsibility for the first say 15 years, he was still responsible.
I heard about that too. I wonder if the judge would like some bimbo to falsely accuse him of paternity and take a chunk of his income for 18 yrs? What a dope.
It was worse that that. Kids were very young, I believe.
Happened in Big Spring, Texas, right by me.
The judge also ordered the "father" to not tell the kids he was not "dad."
My understanding is that this is old, old law, going back to English Common Law if not to Roman law. Basically, any child born to a married woman is legally the child of the husband.
Pennsylvania says if you are married to the woman that delivers, the baby is yours even if it is not.
Our son, just today, was told by SC DSS that he must pay child support on a 18 month old that is not his. He wanted to marry the mother and agreed to give the baby his name at birth. He also signed a paternity waiver at that time (he did not pay attention to what he was signing.) Anyway, the bi--h left him and filed for support. She won and our son is really down and out today.
