Reply #202: Again, it is a policy decision with no perfect answer.

We have to just agree to disagree on this.

I said it before and I stand by it; even if DNA testing proves beyond doubt that a husband is not the father of the child, the husband should have to pay support for the child born into his marriage unless there is a biological father who can do the same.

I have said it ten times today, but I feel that way b/c the husband chose to get married but the child did not choose to be born. The husband gets royally screwed in that situation, but it just seems like the lesser of two evils to me.

Don't think I don't recognize what a bad situation it is for the husband. I just focus more on the poor child with no father and a single mother trying to get by. I'm sure the fact that I spent my youth struggling to survive with my single mother colors my view on this. I know what it is like to skip meals and would not wish that on any child.

Peace!
