Otherwise, women will always pull the "you don't trust me" card. "How could you ever think I would do that to you?" Women don't have to worry about whether their child is theirs or not. It came out of them. Men, however, have to take this woman's word that the kid is his because if he doesn't, he'll have a pissy wife/girlfriend who's upset that he doesn't trust her and he'll be risking 18 years of child support for a kid THAT'S NOT HIS. I think I read that at least 10% of men are unknowingly raising children that aren't theirs. It's needs to be mandatory that children are tested at birth to prove paternity. Also, from a medical perspective, children need to know their REAL fathers so they can have a comprehensive record on medical problems within their family history.

Anyways....though.

This guy "got his girlfriend in high school pregnant". Marries her. Raises the kid for 3 years and finds out the kid wasn't his. The girlfriend lied to him. Guess how the court decided? Guess who's stuck paying child support for the next 15 years to a kid that's not his?

An Oklahoma man is hoping to change the law after he was ordered to pay child support for a baby that’s not his.

Thomas said he wants to change the Oklahoma law in hopes of helping other men in the same situation.

When Thomas' high school girlfriend got pregnant, he married her. Five months later she had a little boy and he believed he had a son, but, as happens to a lot of young marriages, theirs fell apart.

The boy was three when Thomas decided to take a paternity test.

"It comes back zero percent. I was in my office and I saw that. I should've expected it but I didn't and it hit me. I'm telling my co-worker how shocked I am that someone could do this to someone," he said.

A judge ordered Thomas to take another DNA test. He did and got the same result.

At first, the judge ruled Thomas was off the hook financially, but then reversed that decision because Oklahoma law says men must question paternity within two years of the child's birth.

Thomas said he had no reason to question it before he did, but, because he missed the deadline, the judge ordered him to pay around $500 a month in child support, plus, nearly $15,000 in back support plus interest - all for a child that is not his.

"I wish I was telling a lie,” he said. “I wish it wasn't the truth but it is. That's what makes it so crazy. Everyone I talk to about this can't believe where the court system is coming from."

Thomas wants lawmakers to change the law. He believes DNA matters regardless of when a man learns he's not the father of a child, especially if the man was lied to, but it will be too late for him.

He said, “At this point, there's really nothing I can do to get out of the $15,000 or get out of the child support, it's done, it's the law."

The law basically says that once a child reaches two, the presumed father will be deemed to be the legal father under Oklahoma law.
