If any of the following situations occur then a man is presumed to be the father of a child in the eyes of the court.

One, the man was married to the mother when the child was conceived or born.

Two, a man attempted to marry the mother, whether the marriage was legal or not does not matter, if the child was conceived or born during this time he is the presumed father.

Three, the man married the mother after the conception or birth and has his name on the birth certificate.

Or four, a man had welcomed a child into his relationship and home and chose to call the child his own.

Now the fact is this, any father acknowledged or presumed can not be disproved in a court of law and is considered 'conclusive'. Even in the case of negative blood tests and proven paternity for another man.

Here's the kicker, if a blood test proves that you are not the father, whether the real father is made known by proof or not, then the presumed father must still pay child support.

"I wasn't married but I had been seeing this girl. At the time I owned my business and had really good income. She admitted to me that she was having an affair and we broke up. She moved in with the guy she was cheating on me with and over a year later I received a child support bill for her child. When I contacted her and asked what was up with this action against me she said that she was no longer with the other guy and she knew I could 'afford' to take care of her. She said that she put my name on the birth certificate and the baby was a few months old."

I had to ask if he exhausted all efforts to prove that he was not the father in this case and here's how he answered.

"Yes, in fact the blood test proved I wasn't but by the time all this happened the baby was almost a year old and had my name all that time. The judge said that is something he couldn't change and I was the better choice for the child because I had such a good job and so forth. I was then declared to be the presumed father. I have since removed myself from the situation because the biological that had taken the paternity test and was matched as the dad decided to get visitation and I didn't want to confuse the kid, so needless to say I haven't seen her since she was a baby."

If you are wondering how this has impacted his life, here are the results. He has gone bankrupt and lost his business because of high support he was paying. Because support is based upon your income his was set to a very high but manageable amount... but during a series of slow months he got behind. The mother issued a warrant out and the D.A. took his drivers license. "Well, you can not work if you can't get there. I had to give up my business."

tl;dr: some slut cheats on guy #1, they break up over a year later she has the dude #2 baby. She puts guy #1 name on the birth certificate. Judge forces guy #1 to pay child support for the next 18 years even though paternity test comes back negative.Biological father (guy #2) takes test so he can get visitation rights.

GUY #1 STILL HAS TO PAY FUCKING CHILD SUPPORT
