Reply #32: One of the things fueling this movement is

that our laws have not yet entered the DNA era.

DNA tests are showing that about 1 in 10 children are not fathered by who the mother said they are fathered by.

In the old days a husband may have always had a suspicion that one of the four kids didn't look at all like the other three. But there wasn't anything he could do about it.

Now, the husband can prove the child isn't his.

Unfortunately the law still requires the husband to be the legal father of the child and pay child support for him/her even if the pair are divorced and even if the divorce is because of the wife's cheating.

There was a case near me about 5- 10 years ago that ended up on Dateline or one of those 60 Minutes clone shows.

A couple divorced because the wife had an affair. The wife went to live with the guy she had an affair with and the three kids went with her with the husband paying child support. The wife told him she had been having the affair with her lover throughout their marriage and she thought the kids were not the husband's. He had DNA testing done and it turned out two of the three kids were not his but were the guy's his wife was having the affair with. The guy went to court to get his child support payments ended for the two kids.

The court ruled that since he had a good job and the bio dad was unemployed, it was in the best interests of the children to have the cuckolded husband continue to pay child support for all three children. He was to send the checks to his ex-wife and the real bio dad.

He refused and had his paycheck garnished.

He quit his job, refused to pay, was arrested and imprisoned as a deadbeat dad.

Some states have started to change these laws. Now that there's DNA testing, men are no longer willing to accept the laws that are so unfair to them. Call these men whatever you want, but they're not going to take these kind of sexist laws anymore now that they can know for sure.
