Yep and even if you piss her off sooooo. A real woman who ain't cheating will be happy to take the test and prove you wrong.

Second if a joker concerned about her being pissed. Just think how pissed you will be if you find out 4 years later the baby isn't yours.
Yeah it sounds like a double edge sword. It will definitely safeguard you if your girl is unfaithful, but if she's is faithful be prepared for some hurt feelings and talks about trust. It's just going to happen. No one is going to come out of a positive test happy like "see baby I'm not a whore! :myman:". But it's just something men need to do nowadays.

This is not all that uncommon. Judges can make a man pay if they believe that it is in the best interest of the child. Be careful of who you hit it raw with fellas...

I've read legit arguments against this.....mainly the cost of doing it for the gov't

I don't mind having to pay a fair fee out of my own pockets to see if I'm a baby's father. Instead of having society do it for men, we need to teach men to have the common sense to do it for themselves



Another legit concern.
Kill that noise! Hospital offer to do that shyt for free soon as the baby is born. It just gotta be right then. My child looks like so thank goodness for that.

OK Man Ordered To Pay Child Support Despite Not Being Father
OK Man Ordered To Pay Child Support Despite Not Being Father - NewsOn6.com

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.


how does he have to pay 15,000 if they were married though?

I understand why the law is this way, yet I understand why dude is frustrated.

If you are gonna be the daddy and not question it for a couple years, then it's in the child's best interest for you to keep being the daddy.

He admitted he knew the kid probably wasn't his. He shouldn't have waited so long to give a fukk. Had the relationship not fallen apart he would have raised that kid as his own.

After 3 years of raising that kid, I don't see how he could want to walk away just like that. Seems to be driven by anger for the girl.
