At the same time, though, what if the alleged father has biological
children of his own, and the financial burden of providing for someone
else's child has an adverse impact on the man's own children?
You refer to these men as "these fathers," but in fact they are not. I
believe that the majority of cases involve no deception, but for the sake of
argument, what recourse does a man have to prevent any woman with whom he's
had relations from assigning him the duties of fatherhood? Is this truly
better for the children--that someone be duped into acting as a father?
Dave!
