Thank you. Actually, I see the two circumstances as interestingly related. The flip side, as you were. If a man deceived can get off the hook, it would seem the consenting surrogate father should not be able to enjoy a traditional benefit without some thought to responsibility.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Can you break it down a bit more for me?

Your turn. What is fair and just for the sailor returning from deployment who discovers his wife is pregnant with someone elses child?

Assume there are other children in the home (which may or may not be his), then assume there are none. Do your answers change? Why? The law currently sees no distinction.

He has to pay child support,(it's for the chillerin')
and make the car payment,(junior has to have a way to the doctor)
and for day-care.(Hey, a girl has to work)
and if he raises his voice about it, he gets a restraining order, and then he can't see the kids whether they were his or not.
This crap plays out in family court everyday, and it needs to end.
