"The presumption of paternity doctrine ... was created to prevent innocent children from bearing the stigma of illegitimacy," Silverblatt said. "What this does is open the door for the destruction of that doctrine."


I disagree, IMO it opens the door for responsible parenting and the legal and moral objective of not rewarding fraud.

This is a big step in the right direction...for once. If you REALLY want to see a reversal of the destruction of the family, the corner stone of society, then there has to be consequences for fraud...and those consequences have to go to the party who commits it. And as far as the kids losing, they have been losing anyway by being used as tools for fraud-based extortion.

can't the wronged man sue the biological father for repayment?

How about we just have a mandatory paternity test from the begining?

MISSING PERSON; The child's real father. Time for that boy to write some serious checks.
