That's the problem... the law is set up in a way that most fathers aren't aware of... there should be a stipulation that says you waive doing a paternity test and assume all liabilities of being a father.. but that's not even offered... it seems shady... reminds of those commercials where the guy asks a girl if she wants a pony and gives her a toy pony whereas the other one got a real pony because she didn't "ask"... playing those rules... makes me want to puke and I can't believe anyone would say those rules are just fine...
how can anyone advocate a man paying to support a child that isn't his?? because of, "presumed" paternity?? a man shouldn't be held responsible for a child he didn't father.
if the courts really cared about the child being in a stable enviroment, tests would be mandatory so a woman wouldn't be able to pen a kid on some chump she met at a bar or her husband. if women knew they and themselves alone would be held financially responsible for supporting a child outside their relationships, the gov't would never have to foot the bill because chicks would keep their legs closed and not put themselves in that predicament.
I think such a test would be unfair as unlike with the father there is no doubt as to who is the mother.
Children are the future of a society. So what is better: a father unknowingly raising someone else's child in a family setting, or a single-parent home, which is much more likely to create problems for the child?

if a woman doesn't want to run the risk of raising a child in a single-parent home, she shouldn't be sleeping around to the point that paternity is a matter of debate. everybody is concerned about the mother and the child, but what about the emotional toll on a man who has been unknowingly caring for a child that isn't is?? i guess causing a man mental anguish is ok in this society.

Huh? What emotional toll if the father does not know about it in the first place?
Sure, if humans were perfect, they would not sleep with people they are not married to. But humans do make mistakes, and some aren't even married...
If the test is mandatory for every child, who gets to see the results? Are they public record, or if not, which parties are entitled to see the records? Anybody who states that he/she has an interest in the outcome? Isn't that the public? Do you want everyone who runs for public office to have a paternity test result on record? Do employers get to look at the paternity test results of all the children of job applicants? Will parents be forced to look at the results of the paternity tests of all their children, whether they want to know or not? If they refuse to look at the results, should we waterboard them until they look? Should children know that their father is in prison, or that they are the half-sibllings of the kids next door, or of their cousins?
You had better have good answers to all these questions, if you want to advocate mandatory testing.
