When it's not your child

[sphinxpoet]

Increasingly there has been several issues of baby's fathers and single mothers! In one case I saw last week a man raised a child who he thought was his daugther of 12 years. Him and his ex were not together legally but he paid child support for 12 years and he had married someone else.

Then when she turned 12 she sued to have an increase in child support. Upon this the man requested a blood test to see if the daughter was really his. It turned out he was not the daddy!

He sued the mother for all back child support and requested that the court reject her request for more child support. He Lost! The court said since he was the only daddy the young girl knew he was still responsible even if it was not his. Now he still has to pay monthly child support

All the women I came across said what happened to him was jacked up but he still needs to pay child support!

How do my people in here feel about that? Are the courts right or wrong? When should you if ever trust someone who is claiming to carry your child? Or should we all just get blood tests from jump? Does that mean a stepfather that divorces his wife still is responsible to the stepchild financially? Let me know! I will express my opinion later.
