If the child was not his, I think he has every right to sue her. But what happens to the kid? Does he have nothing to do with the kid anymore? That, in my opinion, is a little damaging to the child. Depending on the child's age, maybe the parents could sit him/her down and explain that he is not the child's real Dad, but he would be happy to still visit the child and do things with the child.

It is really terrible when women lie about the father of their children. It shortchanges the men, certainly, but what it does to the kids is worse.

Regarding all of the comments I have seen thus far--it is both the male and female's responsibility to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Neither party has more of an obligation than another. It is something that is equally shared. If one doesn't want children, use birth control. Women can get all kinds of birth control nowadays, and men can use condoms. Problem solved. How hard is that?

Why?

Please explain why a childs life is automatically MORE important than the life of a grown man.

This is the most fascist of beliefs. If all men are created equal, why then do some become LESS equal as they age?

No child is more or less important than anyone else, and this "for-the-children" rhetoric that has become so popular in today's culture is responsible for some of the most egregious attacks against our rights in the history of mankind.

At the rate we are going; someday, out of the blue, children are going to be assigned to people, purely out of need, and it will be mandated that they are provided for, regardless of no parental link.

This is no different then what is occuring today with men who have been defrauded by women who wrongly assign them as father on a birth certificate.

It says in the linked that the guy tried to get some visitation rights in 1999 (when he discovered the kid wasn't his & agreed to let "new daddy" adopt), but has not seen the kid since 1999 (i.e. in 2-3 years.) The mother may not desired any contact between him and the kid.
