This is an important legal and emotional issue and needs to be addressed. However, not everyone fits into the same category and so across-the-board answer won't do for all families. What's the one answer to fit all needs? Haven't the foggiest!

I think one of the big problems is that state laws say that any issue (child) produced during the marriage is considered to be the child of the husband. No matter wh is the real father.
I ran up against this law in NY state years ago and I was shocked to say the least. It still stands.

It seems to me this is the answer. There is never any good reason why a man should be forced by law to pay for a child that is not his. Never. Furthermore women who try to fool the court in this manner NEED to be rotting in jail the second they get found out so that other women wont be tempted to waste the states already limited resources trying to get similar "benefits".
