The child who is not to blame is being punished when the father backs away from his responsibilities of being a parent

So, a relationship based upon a deceitful lie is one that should be encouraged? Why should a man, betrayed by a woman, take the time and money out of his life to attempt to be a father to a child that is not his? He committed no crime. If I am the father, you may force me to pay child support.... but NO ONE may FORCE another to be a father. And again, the alleged father is the victim of fraud, and you are making him out to be the villian. The lying, deceitful mother is the felon.

Precisely. It is the mother who is punishing the child, not the man deceived into believing he is the father.

If a man is enjoying a woman's favors, chances are the kid COULD be his. Only the DNA knows for sure. I'm getting a real charge out of this perennial issue on FR--sure are a lot of enraged cuckholds on this forum!
