| 3 | More coverage from the WSJThis is an issue we're facing in New Hampshire as well. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/15 05:54 PM |
| 1 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireIndeed, we have a staff to research most of this! I thought I'd reach out to the community before hand to go in with the right questions. Now, some of my details may not be entirely accurate - I am not a family law expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I'm meeting with our house researchers and legal counsel in the next few weeks for specific details. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/15 03:12 PM |
| – | Dad by default: Man could face jail time for not paying child support for boy that isn’t his. Has DNA evidence, airtight alibi, government malfeasance, and admission by the woman of deliberately defrauding the state. State still wants 30K from him or else. Same song different tune.Interesting story. She said she needed help providing for the boy, but was told that in order to get welfare assistance, she had to name a father on the paperwork. She said she decided to put down Alexander’s name, even though she knew he couldn’t be the father. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/15 03:11 PM |
| 2 | Mississippi HB 516 - Bill to require DNA before child support can be ordered. Sponsored by a woman! (See lines 36-37)I'll be sure to watch this one. | /r/MensRights | 22/01/15 04:07 PM |
| – | Washington State considers bill allowing paternity to be terminated by DNA evidence, accepting public comments and testimonyThis is a fantastic read, if anybody checks the bill text. This section does not apply if: (a) The man is the child's adoptive father; or (b) The child was conceived by assisted reproduction and the man consented to assisted reproduction with the intent to be the parent of the child born. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 03:11 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThanks for your input, this is actually an interesting idea. Covert paternity testing may go a long way towards helping. One of the major issues with paternity fraud is how socially normalized it has become for mothers to be offended by the very idea that the father would test. It becomes such a point of contention that it puts at risk the very relationship, so men are very unlikely to even try. With this sort of change, it would give men the right and ability to determine paternity without any … | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 03:05 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireI've been trying to get research on the cost this would put on the state/parents. I'm afraid the costs involved vary greatly. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 03:01 PM |
| 3 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireWhy is one illegal act consider illegal, while another illegal act is consider best interest of the child? That certainly is a question I'm asking myself a lot recently. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 03:00 PM |
| 2 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireI think any bill that I propose may still be slated as "anti-child" or "anti-mother" in the media, and that is a risk I'm willing to take. I would like to do everything possible to make the bill effective nevertheless. I realize a dead bill may still make waves, and that might be enough to start some change. But I think my primary goal is to hope for a bill to pass. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 03:00 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireI will absolutely be submitting what I believe to be the best possible legislation. The question is, what baby steps can we take to bring us in the right direction? A lot of the comments here really help give me some perspective, and I appreciate that. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:57 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThank you for taking the time to share your ideas. Bonus points if the hospital is required to tell him how to get a paternity test as a matter of course (best interests of the child to know who real father is, medical history etc) This would be a very very easy rule that wouldn't cost the state but may provide net benefit. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:56 PM |
| 1 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThank you for your input, you've put a lot of thought into this and I really appreciate it. You raise some very valid concerns and ideas, a lot of which I agree with. I will be printing out this comment and bring it with me to the researchers! | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:54 PM |
| 2 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThanks for your input. I'll copy and paste what I've written above, because I understand the concern: The reality of passing legislation like this is that it will take baby steps. As much as I'd like to pass a single bill that would reform all the problems I see in our state, sometimes getting there takes small steps to lay the groundwork for future legislation. In this case, one of the reasons I'm looking at changing how we determine paternity is because it will set up the framework for easier … | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:25 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThanks for your input on this. I'm actually very interested in the time limit, though I'm not entirely sure the article is correct regarding married men (who I think assume paternity immediately). I will absolutely bring this up to the house counsel, this could easily be an additional piece of legislation. Of course, they will have to alert me of unintended consequences. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:25 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThis is an interesting idea, and I will talk to the legal counsel about this. I'm wondering what potential problems might arise that I don't know. I'm very happy to be able to talk to legal experts with these ideas. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:21 PM |
| 6 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThank you, I've always been interested in equality, and have understood that to mean for women and men. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:20 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThanks for your input. Free paternity testing would be an easy step in the right direction, my only fear is that a bill with increased spending would see resistance from even legislators who would otherwise support the cause. As it stands now, our budget is very tight. Regarding anti-mother/anti-child: I'm sure you're familiar with the outrage machine, if they could find a way to twist it into an attack on anything to prevent a change to child support, they will. But you're right, an angle must … | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:19 PM |
| 2 | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThanks for the text- I'm going to research how other states determine it as well! | /r/MensRights | 17/01/15 02:04 PM |
| – | Looking for input/suggestions to prevent Paternity Fraud in New HampshireThanks for your input. One of the issues we face is not only what might be fair or just- but instead what can actually make it through the lawmaking process. There are a lot of opinions that may stand in the way, no matter how just the proposed legislation might be. The problem with option one is that it may be seen as bad for the child. No matter how legitimate or not the child support claim may be, anything that can instantly be spun as anti-child or pro-welfare will be shot down very quickly.… | /r/MensRights | 16/01/15 06:42 PM |
