If a man has a father-child relationship with a kid, the only thing he should care about is how he can help the kid. That shouldn't depend upon whether or not the kid has his DNA, or if he gets to see the kid, or anything else. I'm not talking legally, I'm talking about the right thing to do. Under no circumstances should he contribute in the slightest way to the notion that the kid is being abandonded by his father. You see, it's not about the father, it's about the kid. You gotta do right by the kid, even when life is unfair (life IS unfair, doncha know?)

Jeff, would I be correct if I guessed your age is somewhere under 30?

Five years down the road- this man has not been able to have any contact with the kid, there is no longer a father-child relationship, the guy now has a new family and his own kids to support.
He should be forced to take from his kids and support another man's child? And the real father does not have to pay support.
