Wife CHEATS, Wants CHILD SUPPORT For Illegitimate Daughter?

Family courts tend to dissuade against DNA testing, due to the adverse effects on 'the family'. Believe that the tests may even be illegal in France. Also think that insistence on such tests confers no legal rights for the cuckolded male to withdraw financial support from a child who has no genetic connection, especially if still married to the mother. There is an expectation that men should continue to provide for any cuckoo in the nest, giving them full access to resources until raised. In most cases, having your bank account cleared out by deception would be fraud. Why not here?

With regard to DNA testing, here's an article written by Melanie McDonagh in The Spectator, 23rd October 2010 : 'At a stroke, the one thing that women had going for them was taken away, the one respect in which they had the last laugh over their husbands and lovers. DNA tests are a change in the balance of power between the sexes. Many men have, of course, ended up rising children who were not genetically their own, but, really, does it matter? You can feel quite as much tenderness for a child you mistakenly think to be yours as for one who is. Uncertainty allows mothers to select for their children the father who would be best for them.'

In 2007, medical ethicist Heather Draper published a paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics, stating this: 'Although children may result from infidelity, these issues (and the feelings they engage) need to be disentangled both from the interests of the children and from our understanding of what fatherhood means. Paternity testing might be an effective test of genetic relatedness and infidelity, yet it is an ineffective test of fatherhood. Claims for reimbursement and compensation in cases of misattributed paternity produce the same distorted and thin view of what it means to be a father... and underscores a trend that is not in the interests of children.'

So, there we are. A female medical ethicist can tell men what it means to be a father. Don't worry about whose genes are in the child. William Collins takes these (and many other ethicist) views to task in 'The Empathy Gap'. These ethicists, all women, propose that biological paternity does not matter. Only social paternity matters - including resource provision, and the entirety of parental involvement with child rearing. To think otherwise, is, apparently, to have a 'distorted and thin' view of what it means to be a father. But, are these women putting themselves in the position of the man in question, or simply expounding their own interests? Let's put their proposition into the context of mothers. Why not dispense with the name tags for babies in maternity wards, and send the mother home with ANY child? After all, they're all the same. Would a mother who prefers to raise her own child have a 'distorted and thin' view of motherhood?

Father needs to petition the court for a paternity test. It doesn't matter if the court does something or not, there is no loss for him.

Either he continues paying child support or does not. It doesn't raise because you have a paternity test proving you are the father.
