[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of heartless ahole do you have to be to reject a kid you raised as your own for 9 years?  Yes, the woman was a liar and that's a horrible thing to do to someone you say you love, but that's not the kid's fault.  Could a non-sociopath really look at the kid and say "oh, you're some other man's bastard so I'm not your dad anymore"?[/quote]

Where is mom's responsibility?  She lied to the man and child.  A man should not have to financially support a child whom he was told was his and was not.  At that point, chid support should be terminated and if he chooses to continue, he can, just as if he chooses to continue to have a relationship with the child.  Both he and the child have the right to know.[/quote]

I think that PP's point is that at some point while the action might matter quite a bit in terms of the deceived father's relationship with the deceiving mother, that it would be a cold person indeed who would abandon a child he'd raised as his own for a decade simply because he found out that his sperm had nothing to do with it. And anyone who doesn't understand this I don't think is a parent.

And that isn't necessarily saying they don't deserve to know, just that, at age 9 or 10, the parent/child bond is really firmly in place and it has nothing to do with money. [/quote]

You are assuming a lot, including the child has a strong bond with that man.  If the adults are no longer together, it could be an issue where mom just wants the child support and man/child do not have any contact or a relationship.  Then, it is strictly financial and why should a man support a child who he has no relationship with and is not his biological or adopted child.[/quote]
