I've heard that in the eyes of the law, if you accept that the child is yours and act accordingly for ? amount of time, actual paternity does not matter after a certain point.

BTW, a guy called in the show and told a weird story. He had a doubt 5-6 years on that the kid wasnt his that he was paying child support for. When he got dna tested, the family court judge ignored it and he still has to pay. CAN it be possible ? doesnt make sense.

a report in Australia found that 25% of the people who sent dna samples to some DNA testing company found that they were NOT the father. wonder what will the % be in US.

So you're saying 3/4ths of men who think their kid isn't their's are just being paranoid?
Cause obviously you're smart enough to know people wont go through the trouble/cost/invasion of privacy of sending in their DNA and that of their kids unless they really want this done, and they wouldn't really want this done unless they had real doubts about their paternity so the 25% figure doesn't at all speak to the number of fathers being "tricked" but rather to the fact that most people who do think they are being tricked, aren't.

For the record, I think the take home DNA test is pretty damn cool, and will prove really useful in saving a lot of people in need of paternity tests time and money.

I just also think that OP is dumb and sexist and anyone who believes 1 in 10 fathers isn't the real father of their kid is equally unqualified to ever have children of their own or raise someone else's.

Haha, you are paying 30 dollars for cotton swabs that you send for testing. While this may be a new venue to get a DNA test it is essentially exactly the same as going to get one done in a private lab, which has been an available option before. Hopefully it's cheaper since it is somewhat more convienient I guess.

How do the women test to see if the baby is theirs?

[SeeYouSoon]

I doubt a women will ever try to pwn a baby off as ours (being 2p2) unless we someday become like these guys

I think it's a great idea, some of you poor men have been taken for fools.

Along the lines of the judge making the non-father continue paying, here's what happened to me:

I put my daughters fathers name on birth certificate, he signed paperwork that she was his and then we filed for court ordered child support when she was about 8 months old. The courts in California finally saw the case and approved it when she was FIVE. I figured cool, I get five years of back child support. Nope. The order was in effect for the date of the court hearing and beyond, not the past. He got out of five years of child support because the family courts in LA area were too booked/overcrowded and I didn't have a lawyer.

Sucked then. Now I get court ordered for another 3 years, but what I get each month is just enough to cover her braces monthly payment.
