'Many men are finding out they are not the father after all'
"New 2007 figures compiled by the company show that one in 4.5 paternity tests exclude the man as the biological father - a record high since DNA testing began 10 years ago."
-http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/11/17/1194767021109.html?s_cid=rss_
Afterall, some of these men have raised children or paid tens of thousands of dollars for child support for a child that isn't biologically theirs.
Put yourself in their position and ask yourself if that's fair.
This can all be prevented if mandatory paternity testing is employed, regardless of whether the woman was honest or not.
Thoughts??

"why if u married and u have wife and u are trust in her why and what the need of the test"
Oh, yes- I forgot. Women are perfect, angelic beings that can be trusted 100%.
Get real. Did you even read that statistic? Does that look like *trust* to you?

ArmyWif: I disagree; there are still fathers out there who no doubt believe that their children are genetically linked to them, but in reality aren't. So once again, a man is ignorantly raising a child that isn't biologically his- sure, he may not have had any reason to doubt it wasn't his b/c he trusted his wife, but do you honestly think it's fair for that to happen to a man? Again, mandatory paternity testing can prevent this all.

No. there is not any regulation to emphasize women individuals to inform a guy if she has conceived a newborn from extra-marital (or on the aspect) sex. The prevalent practitioner keeps it quiet and so do different 'experts'. Who comprises help of stay-at-abode fathers at the same time as a woman abandons a kin? Paternity in basic terms makes use of DNA to witch-hunt adult men, no matter if there are b****** fathers obtainable who do not contribute.

No it's not fair to the man. I think they should make it mandatory that the paternity test be done right after the baby is born. That should help stop the unfairness of paying out money that they don't have to. The man whose baby it really is should have to pay all the money back to the man who thought it was his child, that's only fair and that should be mandatory also. That must be a horrible feeling for the man who all along thought that it was his child, how does he deal with that after he finds out it's not his child?, he might have to go through counselling to deal with it.

Yes. I also think that women who knowingly lie about the paternity of their children should have to pay the father back any child support that was paid. They should also have to reimburse him for the cost of the paternity test(if he paid for it) as well as any court related expenses that he incured. Jail time should also be a consideration.

No just because some men and women can't keep it for one person does NOT mean that all should be punished -- if a father has any reason to doubt than it's perogative to have testing done but that in no way means mandatory testing is a good idea. Just one more step to a police state!

Hello,,only in divorce or out of wedlock situations. I went through the paternity case and just told the judge "he is my son". But looking back it is possible that there was several times she cheated and could have been seeded by another.

Most state laws automatically make the husband of the birth mother the father, whether he believes it is his child or not, and it is very hard to overcome that statutory presumption of parenthood.

I would support it, if it was used only when child support was being determined, not every time a child was born. That would be too intrusive. Keep government out of your private life!

My daughter is not of my flesh and blood, but she IS my daughter. I think (especially for those applying for governement aid) that yes, it should be mandatory, but even of greater importance, is that the "guilty" should be made to pay.
