How common is paternity fraud?

The pushback by gov against paternity testing alone should tell you the frequency is high enough to destabilize society.

- Hospitals don't want to deal with the issue on their premises. There is a "no-info" policy on these cases.

- Universities no longer have biology students do blood testing.

- Several Western (1st world countries) FORBID the practice through technicalities (must have consent of both parents AND a court order, anything else is not admissible)

- Courts don't care about paternity, the signatory on the birth certificate is the father.

There is a False Paternity Bubble out there, and it will pop in our lifetime. When the average normie FINALLY gets it through their thick skull that "these hoes ain't loyal" (as rappers have been warning for nigh on 4 decades), the conservatives will finally have to admit their model of the family doesn't work either.

10-20 percent.

Probably pretty common.

My sister's best friend just found out that her dad is some rando on ancestry DNA and not yhe man that raised her.

Now here's the irony: she has two older sisters that treat her dad like crap basically. Her mom died a couple years ago, and she's been her dad's caretaker (dementia).

They are SUPER close and she is a fantastic daughter.

She hasn't told anyone in the family, but she has met her biological father and one of her half brothers. I don't know all the details but I'm pretty sure that her biological father is someone that actually knew her dad. so if you ever think a guy won't bang your girl because he knows you and respects you think again.

In any case she is now his full-time caretaker and will be there with him until the end.

So for this guy who's at the end of his life raising some other guy's kid actually turned out to be maybe the best thing that ever happened to him. he got a kid out of it that adores him and is making sure he doesn't die alone in a nursing home. How fucking weird is that?

Doesn’t matter, paternity test every child no matter what.

I don’t know, but amazon has a $99 DNA kit that will remove all doubt with a simple saliva swab.

As Ronald Reagan once said: “Trust...but verify”.

Nobody knows for sure, you can probably imagine why it's problematic to acquire reliable data on this subject. Often times, the women don't know either. However, assumptions range between 5 - 30%.

I've read studies that cite 10, for "unknowing." But I would expect the numbers to be higher, since academia is interested in making this seem as infrequent as possible. Also, if you factor in children raised by a non-biological father who do know, the number jumps even higher.

I don't think it eclipses 50% by any means, but if I had to estimate, maybe 1 in 3 between knowing and not knowing.

Can't tell for sure. The law should mandate paternity tests at birth.
