Recipe for a good paternity fraud bill
A just and fair paternity fraud bill :
- Does not have best interest of the child as a deciding factor for releasing a paternity fraud victim.
- Does not have a time limit for releasing victims of fraud, mistake of fact or duress.
- Releases victims of paternity fraud victim regardless of marital status.
- Provides a statutory mechanism for mandatory and discretionary relief that frees males falsely accused of paternity.
- Acknowledges a man’s right to not be exploited by the court, the child’s mother nor state agency by forcing him to support another man’s child without his formal adoption of the child.
- Acknowledges the fact that pregnancy by a man other than her husband can be proof of her adultery when naturally inseminated.
- Provides a statutory means to obtain a legal DNA paternity test for the male affected. Ie, Test the boyfriend and the husband simultaneously
- Provides a statutory correction of the child’s birth certificate to remove the paternity fraud victim’s name when he is released.
- Provides a statutory release of all arrears, current and future payments of child support when paternity fraud victim is released.
Other solutions
- Best interest of the child should mandate the child’s mother to accurately name the male that caused her pregnancy under oath.
- Mandatory paternity test to accurately list the biological father before placing man’s name on the birth certificate
- Provides a statutory requirement that the child’s mother or legal guardian immediately file a child support action against the biological father when paternity fraud victim is released.
