GAG members did excellent in answering a similar question where the biological father was known. However, if the biological father is not known then, based on the best interest of the child, the husband is the only source for the money.
The husband is the presumed father. In particular the father on the birth certificate is the biological father where I am. I don't think the nominated father has to sign and would think the mother can just nominate.
In particular the law takes the husband as the biological father if the birth occurred during marriage.
Regardless of the fact the woman was raped it is possible the husband is the father. Perhaps the woman was reluctant to terminate the pregnancy - it will be her child nonetheless. If she nominates her husband as the father then he would have to go through some legal process to cease being the biological father.
Obviously DNA testing would be sufficient to prove or disprove that. It would depend on the jurisprudence if the husband can get himself of the birth certificate. I wouldn't be surprised if it was difficult in some places as some nominal fathers (who never had sex with the girl in question) have had no recourse.
I think it all depends on the jurisprudence is the only answer. Where I am you just need a DNA test to remove your name as father from the birth certificate. You don't need a court order.

The courts will someone to pay and if the rapist is unknown, very likely the husband will have. Of course, that is wrong and courts know it is wrong. However, those corrupt evil judges, are not interested in doing the right thing if it goes against their agenda.

He shouldn't be made to pay for child support for a child that is not his regardless if the wife was raped of not. It's not fair to him
I don’t think most men would really mind it and raising the child as his own. Now if nobody knows who the rapist is that’s a serious problem. Yes the rapist should be paying money. He should be sued and forced in court to pay restitution.
I wouldn't be surprised. I have heard of cases where men are forced to pay child support, even after proving the child isn't his.
Hell naw, that bitch is ruined once she been raped. Don't they take a hoe out in the street and stone her in the middle east once that happens?
That’s where the cops come in generically find the rapist and jail him, keeping other women from becoming victims.
Then there are victims funds, etc…not enough. But if you keep the baby- which is very honorable, hopefully the govt would help.meanwhile there are married women who would abort the husband's baby and feminists will cheer her on
I don't know if he should be forced to pay, but I'd hope that he'd want to.
In France yes. In America if he has been acting as the father for a few years or his name is on the birth certificate. In the uk no
The determining factor is if his name is on birth certificate
The rapist can't keep the baby. That would be rape and kidnapped charges against him.
Not the same situation.
A cause of family break 💔
