None. That is none BS.

Or you can just trust your wife

while your plan offers a higher chance that you won't know your raising some other guys kids, my plan offers a higher chance that you won't actually be raising some other guys kids. To each his own...or well, to each maybe his own...never mind.

His plan suggests marriage was an okay decision in the first place, while your plan suggests not.

...though I am not sure you advocate marriage. Which I rather doubt matters for you one way or the other IRL.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, thanks for the personal attack. Maybe youre married and you have a great wife, I'd like that someday. Maybe you have never been burned before and are too trusting. I just think its entirely reasonable to spend a few hundred bucks on a test to ensure that what might be big problem now isn't much bigger problem down the road.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I been burned. Bad.

I only meant you seem to err on the side of not trusting, which is going to mean you won't be getting married. Because you shouldn't marry anybody you don't completely trust, nor should she/he marry you.

Didn't mean to seem like I was saying you are incapable of marriage for any other reason. I'm not a [censored], I wouldn't have any way of knowing your potential there.

what would you do if your wife told you that the kid youve been raising for the last five years was actually some other dude she banged while you were away on business. would you continue to raise the kid?

In many states there is no ambiguity. The dad must continue to pay child support even though he is not the father.

Everyone should just get the DNA test done at birth, regardless of how much they trust the mother.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously, everyone should be a little bit suspicious. Read this article .

second off: I want the % of fathers who THINK they are the father but actually not. I mean, this % INCLUDES people that are knowingly adopted, etc.

I don't know how the notion is so crazy in the grand scheme of things. Do you know how many million kids are born per year? Would you really conclude that over 90% of them are the created by the male in the marriage/relationship and not some fling/1night stand etc? If anything, I think 10% is being way too conservative.

No way. It's a lot higher than that.

I feel bad for you pal. I really don't know what I would do, but I would probably keep raising the kid. Blood or not, that's your kid, and I assume you feel the same. Good luck man. Hope everything works out.

Sorry man, had to throw this one in.

In general, yeah, if you split up with someone you should not be expected to help support their child.

I would definitely raise the kid. Family is not about blood.
