Does that make her nasty and trifling? It's all a matter of opinion. Does that make her a liar? If she KNEW that the kid wasn't for a particular man, HELL YEAH! If she honestly didn't know, I can't call her a liar.
It's a catch 22 on the part of the man. He should have asked for a blood test from the beginning. Why wait 12 YEARS to ask for it? But then again, had he asked for a test, it might have seemed like he didn't trust his girl. I don't think that the court has the right to force him to continue to make payments.
Lord, help the children.

The court of law states, "The truth, the WHOLE truth and nothing but the truth." A sin of omission should never be rewarded. If she knew Tom and Jim hit that within a 12-hour period she owes it to the man to say look, I'm prego, but IT MIGHT NOT be yours. After that, it's up to him to get the test. But until then, does he not owe his supposedly COMMITTED spouse or WIFE that much trust?
A woman knows where her "stuff" has been, and it should ALWAYS be her responsibilty to find out who fathered her child. She owes it to that man and that child.
