The law is pathetic. It is slow to change and adjust for real world issues.

When I had my twins, I put my now ex husbands name on the birth certificates without a paterity test. Later on during our divorce, the court ordered one.

This is where loose morals and degraded integrity has brought us. If a man is not going to take responsibility for his own children of his own fruition – then I think a law should be in order.
This is how far down the hole our society has come. Men and women are equally at fault.
It still takes two!

I don’t know that that is the answer, I do know that it is becoming a huge problem however.. men who are not the paternal fathers should not have to pay child support if a woman lied and he believed her at the time. It is like a crime of passion.. You can kill someone and get a milder sentence because you were in love and acting on that emotion, yet you can sign 18 years of your life away in the throws of love only to find out later that you are NOT the father, yet you will still be held financially responsible for that child? I don’t think that is correct or even remotely fair.. It is is foolish and infuriating and one more way to unclug the judicial system. .but a very bad way.
I think a paternity test should be done if the paternity is questioned and when. and I feel that once paternity is established and that the name on the birth certificate no longer matches the baby, that guy is off the hook! End of story, why should some guy be held responsible for someone elses child and a lying girl?
Ugh..
