I know I am going to be hatefully flamed by some men, but I have had a problem with men who disown children who are born withing the marriage who are not their bio kin. The children born within a marriage belong to the marriage and the parents legally have been through the ages, their marital mother and father. As the fact that father hood is more than a sperm donation, father hood is instead a legal entity. if your wife has a child while you are married to her, you should be responsible for it. That child needs a father, and you, sir, are it. that is the hallmark of being a grown up.

Wouldn't that encourage infidelity from both partners? If I can go have an affair with a married woman I don't have to fear the consequences, her husband will be responsible for my actions. Wrong! The hallmark of being a grown up is taking responsibility for your OWN actions.

I disagree. I feel that the child's well being trumps the need to bring you to justice.
