Sadly 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.
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.
Most 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.

If you feel the need to do that, you have no business being in a relationship with this person, if one at all.
Don't be fucking stupid. Also that site is just spouting bullshit to get people to buy their dubious quality tests.
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!
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.
scene:hospital delivery room, baby arrived.
Man: im not saying your a slag but I need to check first.

It would be easier to offer free DNA tests or make the woman pay for it if their is evidence of cheating. A lot of men won’t ask for the test so mandatory testing would waste money on those that trust their wives.
After watching a few of the Paternity Court shows. One would think that there should be testing.
But I am sure that for the major majority of women. Testing would not be necessary or you should not be in a relationship with them in the first place!Given the crazy world we live in and the number of women who commit paternity fraud today, it does make sense to have DNA tests mandatory. I am assured that will lower the numbers of cheating and paternity fraud.
I agree with this, I've heard so many stories about women lying to men and putting them on child support for kids that aren't theirs. I feel like in this day and age this shouldn't still be happening.
If thats what u want good for u but I and many ither men don't see a point mate
Well yeah because you want to make sure that the baby belongs to the right mother. Sometimes they get switched.
I think everyone should have a paternity test any time a child is born.
It's only fair to fathers. And to children, who deserve to know who their real father is.
I don't know why this isn't a hot button men's rights issue tbh.
If I were a young man today I would be demanding a DNA test before I allowed my name to be on a birth certificate even when I'd be using a condom every-time (which I'd buy and dispose of after the act).
Would solve the issue of paternity fraud, but would also result in more divorces both by men who were cheated on and by women who were faithful and offended by the demand.
You can do whatever you want. You just need to find a woman dumb enough to enter a relationship with someone like you. But hey, crazier things have happened, so it's entirely possible.
I think you sound very bitter. Therapy might be wise. (Muting)
It does make you wonder if that would not be a good idea. I also wonder if the government should put it on your record. Wouldn't be popular but likely to be useful.
Then they would need to track down hundreds of men to find out who the real father is.
I’ve been advocating for mandatory paternity tests for basically ever, surprisingly enough lots of guys don’t seem to think it’s a good idea
I really can't believe how many cucks there are on here. I mean actually defending cheating women.
That's dumb - I know whether or not a child is my offspring.
