in cases where women have an affair, then give birth to the lovechild of the affair, but not tell their husband, and then one day he finds out about the affair, divorces, get stuck with child support thinking the child was his, has a dna test, and then confirms he is not the father, and then stops paying child support for the child that is not his. legally however courts have ruled that once "bonded" to the child, that the man still must pay child support or face jail time. in effect the courts do not want a single mother ( from divorced or just single ) to be on welfare, they want a man, any man, to pay for it, it is not necessarily in the best interest in the child, it is the best interest of the state, it is the only crime ( fraud ) in which a women can commit and the courts will take her word ( there is no verification like DNA testing when naming the father on a birth certificate ) at face value
