[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The government already has a very clean, simple, cheap way to establish paternity when married women give birth: the child is presumed to be a product of the marriage and the woman’s husband is legally the father. Switching from that method of determining paternity to paying for tons of DNA testing and potentially blowing up families has no benefit to the state, so there’s no reason for them to require that. Furthermore, civil rights organizations would fight against huge swaths of the population having to turn over their DNA to the government when no crime has been committed. A man can have DNA testing done without involving the government as long as he has access to the child, which, presumably, he does if he’s legally the father.[/quote] So, basically bias to the woman as if he's not the dad, too bad and he pays. He should not be presumed the legal father until a test is done. A paternity test is 10-20 via amazon. Its not expensive. A crime has been committed if mom had an affair and committed purgery on the BC saying its one man when its not.[/quote] The law treats a woman’s husband as the legal father unless someone takes steps to fight that and proves he’s not the father. This dates back to the days when a woman went from being her father’s dependent to her husband’s and had no legal standing on her own and couldn’t vote or own property. Therefore, it’s not perjury for a woman to list her husband as her baby’s father, regardless of biological paternity. Legally, he IS the father unless proven otherwise. Men designed these laws. The government benefits from this being very clear cut without DNA testing, and society benefits from the stability it gives married couples and their children. It’s unfair to individual men who would have decided not to participate in raising or supporting children who are not theirs biologically, but have been tricked into doing so, but it’s beneficial to everyone else, so men need to do the DNA testing without government mandate.[/quote] Men should do it on their own but it should be done before the parents are put on a legal document that can impact everyone's lives forever. The world has changed. Time to change with it. Kids deserve to know who their dad's are.[/quote]
