Pretty funny. It's a fact that in the old old days being married for a woman meant she could screw around with no worries. If she got pregnant, there were no paternity tests as to who was the father. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It's probably even more true today with contraception readily available. Assuming a birth anyway, a DNA test is not so simple. Suspicions may not rise until the kid is older and doesn't look like daddy. It could get thorny to get a blood sample out of a kid who can ask "why" questions. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | A jury used to be able to determine paternity once the child was old enough to have settled features. Paternity testing is often used as a weapon. A husband can force the test even though he has no actual doubts and the wife must pay half the costs. If she has to buy formula and pay for a test... what kind of a lawyer can she afford? Oh... be careful about disposing of certain products. Texas let a cesspool truck driver take the stand to testify about items he found in the cesspool which probably swayed the jury's views of the wife's activities. |
