You said, in part: Men who are unduly fearful should just never get married, or get married with a complex prenup and not have children, and avoid these traps entirely.

No, that would not avoid the kind of liability you have asserted in prior posts. If a man establishes a bond with a child who thinks of him as his/her father, irrespective of marriage, biological parenthood or even love for the biological mother, and loves that child as much as if he/she were his own, you would seem to impose financial liability for support. I hope I am wrong in your position.
No, I never extended my standard to all such relationships with children. Just in some instances (and admittedly narrow ones), and I’m happy to let the courts decide the facts, as is their role.
Indeed, the only way a male can completely insulate themselves from this is to have no personal relationships with adult women, or adult women with children. Heck, better safe than sorry: don’t have any personal relationships with anyone.
