+1 ySadly in my state, if they are married the father is put on the birth certificate by default, even if she cheated and someone else is the biological. He doesn't need to even sign it.
If not married, the mother gets to fill it out and put who the father is on it. I'm not sure if he has to actually sign it in that case.
There are thousands of cases of men finding out their kid is not theirs, filing for divorce cause she cheated and still having to pay child support.
For awhile I've been a fan of just having a law that says it must be done at birth. Here the state collects a blood sample of babies and it goes on record (not sure why someone tried to explain it and it was gobbly goo to me.)
Might as well add check paternity of the alleged father to the other tests that are ran to the mix. IF the mother knows who the father is and states it. If she says she doesn't know but he knows and wants to be part of the child's life he can pay for a test later to get himself added.
I've been cheated on by almost every man I've been with, so I can relate to how men feel when they get cheated on. Those that oppose this usually have something to hide that they don't want figured out.
They think, no big deal, what he doesn't know won't hurt him so he can raise a child that is his and we can live all happily together... then one day, they both do 23 and me or one of the other tests.

It is a simple test. Hospitals could do it at very little cost. However, it would be no benefit to me. Also, since it is my duty to seek the best available genes for my eggs, if I was married that could be harmful to me if, when ovulating, the best available genes was not my husband. Nevertheless, I can understand how men might want it considering how the laws and family courts are so heavily biased against men.

Asker+1 yThat's great, make sure you marry the genes you want to father you children. What do you do when those genes are in a man that doesn't want to marry you but will have sex with you?

Why should that matter? It is my duty to give my children the best genes available to me and that may not be my husband genes. Since most women couldn't mate with the Alpha male, during the Stone Age women would mate with a guy that is dependable and a good provider. Then when ovulation, if the risk of discovery was low, would have sneaky sex with the Alpha male in order to give their children the best chance at surviving. It is subconscious; not conscious. Nevertheless, women that did not do that are not our ancestors.

Cuckoldry is the fate of males the animal kingdom over. In study after study of species after species, the idea that females are naturally devoted to their one and only mates has fallen to growing evidence that many of the world's supposedly monogamous femalesare guilty of their share of indiscretions.
Yet in spite of these findings, many biologists, especially male biologists, held out hope that some males might be immune to this kind of treatment by their mates -- particularly the exemplary, hard-working fathers.
But research reported in the Proceedings of the Royal Society shatters that dream. Although the diminutive males do everything to care for the young of their raucous, beefy females, these males are cuckolded. Under some circumstances, the researchers found, males had a 74 percent chance of raising another male's offspring, a mistake in the evolutionary race to perpetuate one's own genes.
“It's about as bad as it can be for these guys,” said Dr. Peter Wrege, a behavioral ecologist at Cornell University who wrote the paper with Dr. Stephen Emlen at Cornell and Dr. Mike Webster of the State University of New York at Buffalo. “A male stuck with doing all the parental care should have a very high certainty of paternity, but in fact, that's not the case.”

That is not true because although it happens, it is not all the time. However, even if it was true, and even if it included me, I cannot be nor can any single female be the reason that men need DNA testing. It can only be based on the norm or at least what a significant percentage of women do.
3.6K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. why demand when it can be made mandatory?
you hear the same arguments of "oh well you don't trust her" or "you're just insecure" as if every father shouldn't have the right to know who his kid is. mothers know who their kids are which is fine but somehow the father shouldn't? kids should also be allowed to know who their real father is as well.
not every woman cheats but let's not pretend like cheating doesn't happen and many cheaters will hide behind this to justify "baby-trapping" a beta to do the work for the alpha. mandatory DNA testing will clear up all the issues and I don't see why people will be so heavily against it. the only possible loss is if the father finds out the kid is not his but if that's not a possibility then there's nothing to worry about when the testing does happen.

+1 yMost states don’t allow DNA testing without both parents’ approval. Nearly two thirds of states have “dad by default” laws. There’s literally nothing a man CAN do if a woman decides she wants his money. She doesn’t really even have to be pregnant in some states. You CANNOT force a pregnancy test any more than a DNA test in most states. Now that states are starting to push for pregnancy support before the kid is even born, hundreds of thousands of men are going to be forced to pay women for their indiscretions whether or not the kids are theirs and even when there’s NO baby. Just take your money for a few months then claim miscarriage. Y’all have no idea how fucked it’s about to get here.

That absolutely will not stop the courts from holding you responsible. That’s exactly the purpose behind “dad by default” laws. There is NOTHING you, as a man, can do in the majority of US states to keep from being held accountable for a baby once a woman has chosen your resources.

Also, don't forget that DNA tests can be wrong or flawed, some even get mixed up if the management of the lab is shit.
In other words, the opposite is also true. Possible that 100s of kids were genuinely their fathers, but the parent cheeped out and bought a shit quality/wrong test!

Asker+1 yYou are really digging deep for that one. You are free to raise Bubba kids if your not man enough to make your own.
The paternity test results you are looking at is skewed.
A paternity test is done usually because there is suspicious behaviors that lead to wanting them. Like she cheated on him or he thinks she might be so the chances of the baby not being the partner is gonna be extremely high.
So 30% of the suspicious behavior is true.
This is not even close to reality.
But nobody is forcing you to date a woman. And nobody is forcing you to not get a paternity test.

Asker+1 ySo, what does that say about the ones that wasn't tested? I think it could be a lot higher than 30 percent. It's best if men just stop getting married completely. You girls can breed with who can get to support you.
