PARENT'S RIGHTS NOW!

We are not yet convinced that paternity fraud is as widespread a problem as some people seem to think. However, we do think that all paternity fraud is both deplorable and preventable. One reason that paternity fraud persists is that, as Margaret Jacobs writes in the Wall Street Journal, Courts Favor Ancient Paternity Rule Over DNA Tests. However, some states are now enacting legislation that allows litigants to utilize scientific evidence to overcome legal fictions based on public policy. For example, an Ohio Law now allows men who can disprove paternity with a DNA test to terminate their child support obligation. And in California, Innocence Is Now a Defense to a Paternity Action.
