Karma3: Gawd! Are you for real???

cristina: In Portugal there is this presumption that the father of the kids is the one who is married to the mother at the moment of birth or conception. Must be the same everywhere.
It seems like he didn't rebut this presumption immediately but acted as their real father and was recognised as such in all circumstances.
If he decided to do ADN exame, it seems to me that he had always been suspicious. Why do the ADN only at the moment he is to pay their pension? The fact that he did assume the parenting by not rebutting, makes him the legal father and this position is enhanced by the fact that the biological father is uncertain.
If i was the judge, he'd have to pay!

In response to: It is said that a man in Ontario must pay child support to his ex for the twins. His wife said she was pregnant shortly after they marry. Turns out she wanted more payments, and DNA was then ordered by the ex husband which prove they were not his kids. He is ordered to pay support for them because he was the only father the teenagers knew. The ex says she doesn't know who the other father is, and has no memory of being in an affair.

I would like to hear comments from men who feel cheated by the legal system, and also from women who think that the judge was right.

Witchaywoman: On one hand, he should file an appeal. On the other hand, doesn't he love the kids? If they're teens, that does not apply for long anyway. Sooner or later, they outgrow child support.
