If a man discovers he has been lied to, and desires to be recompensated for the fraud intentionally perpetrated upon him; his only recourse is to sue the innocent child. This is wrong.
The woman who has lied to the man, has placed the child into a set of circumstances in which it is unfairly exploited; yet there are no legal repercussions for this activity. This is wrong.
These are some (but hardly all) of the reasons why many men are simply chosing not to get married.
I agree with you regarding the fraud issue. I don't think you should have to pay for a child that isn't yours. The law does need to change now that accurate tests can be done to prove paternity. My posts have been if you are the biological father, then be a father.
Absolutely agree. I'll go you one further and see if you agree on this one.
Manditory DNA testing upon the birth of the child. No exceptions. That way, if the husband (or boyfriend) finds out he is not the biological father, he can make an INFORMED decision as to whether he wants to raise the child as his own. An informed decision means that fraud did not occur. If the husband (or boyfriend) decides not to raise the child (which is a real world possibility) the woman either must identify the real father, or she is entirely on her own. After all, she is the one who put herself and the child in this situation.
