[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically the government doesn't want to be involved in interpersonal drama, so they're simply not going to put themselves into that position.  It costs money and leads to more potential costly drama, so from a pure cost standpoint, they don't want to do it.  People can pursue their own options easily enough.[/quote]

The courts often do paternity tests when there is a question.  Its very costly to a man to pay for a child that is not theirs.  If he is put on the birth certificate and not the father, its near impossible to remove him.  [b]They don't do it because they protect women over men[/b].  [/quote]
That’s verifiably false. These laws predate women’s having legal status to vote or own property or serve in legislative bodies or as judges. Women didn’t write or pass these laws. They are a vestige of a time when a man’s wife and children were his property. He was king of his castle and no one else could claim the children his wife bore. Even today, most legislators are men. Paternity law could be changed without a single vote from a woman.[/quote]
