Quote From: suthernthang24My husband was a victim of Paternity Fraud. He asked her if the child was his while she was still pregnant, because her ex boyfriend told people it was his baby, and she lied and said her ex was just trying to start trouble. Long story short, she did cheat and she lied about the paternity.
Shouldn't men get to decide whether they even want to stay married to someone who cheated on them and whether to raise another man's baby?
Like Carnell said, DNA needs to be mandatory at each and every birth. This way men would KNOW for certain and he would get to make the decision for HIMSELF whether to raise another man's child or not. Either way, he would have a say so and it would be up to him, NOT the women! I don't think the choice should be made FOR him.
Why should a man have to pay support for another man's child, just because maybe he makes more money than the bio dad, or just because she is afraid he will leave her? He still has a right to know the truth.
Right now, if a man finds out, most times he is still forced to pay support. Go after the bio dad, make the mother pay back every red cent to the man who had been paying support. Yes, sometimes there is a bond there and that's the only father the child has known, but would the man have ever had that bond to begin with had he known his wife cheated and the child wasn't even his??
What's so hard about making DNA testing mandatory at birth, whether you're married or not, and this would put STOP to Paternity Fraud?!
I agree, usually the father is in the hospital at the time of birth, so test the baby and the father from day one. Problem solved. No father at hospital, no name on birth certificate unless you have DNA proof.
