I think if you asked most people, they would want to know, and want to know as soon as possible. At least then, if the husband decided to be a Father to another man’s baby, it’s a choice that he is making, not one that the mother made for him. After accepting paternal responsibility, though, I do think that he should be treated as the biological dad in child support and custody issues.
Holding non-fathers legally and financially accountable for children that are not theirs, although noble in intent, is violating and wrong. The man in this situation is just as innocent as the child.
Yes, but in fact in most cases this never causes a problem over the course of a life.
And I do think that biodads should be responsible for financial support, too. I don't want to create the impression that I think they should get off scot free.
