There are two guys that work for me that are paying HEAVY child support for kids that are proven with DNA not to be theirs. Judge(s) didn't care and one took it to the appellate court and they agreed with the lower court. I do agree with you statement in general but the system is clearly broken - like most other government systems.

It is my understanding that American Law going all the way back to old English Common law recognizes the Children of Marriage to be the Husband's Children, even if they are not.
In the Time of Old English law, there was no way to tell, but now their is. This is an aspect of law that needs to be seriously revisited in light of advancements in fields other than law. (Where there is never any "advancement.")
