| I want to know if there is any method or record by which you can find out how many fathers who assumed that a child was their’s later came to know that they were not the biological father of the child. And another matter that I need to understand is whether there is a state by state record of this. What would happen if a man who was told that he was the father of a child and paid for the support of his supposed child and then later came to know that he had been cheated and that the child is not really his biologically? |
Anonymous CommenterWith regard to your query on the availability of records let me give you some data that may be of help to you. Regarding non-paternity records:- In the United States the non-paternity rate is 8%. In the urban and the lower social and economic strata this figure goes as high as 38% Almost 30% of fathers who assume that they are the biological parent when tested for parenthood find that they have not really fathered the child There is a record that at least 12% of fathers who pay for child support are not the biological parent. In a number of states if a woman alleges that a particular man is the father of her child, the money for child support is automatically taken from his salary even without his permission. It is the alleged father’s duty to prove to the state or court that he is not the biological father of the child in question. For further details do get in touch with your attorney who is well versed in matters like this and to know what you can do regarding child support.
