Due to the advancements in simple paternity testing, over 30% of those paying child support are learning they are NOTthe father of the children.
Now, it could be claimed that the children need a father, and any father will make due, but if the man files a challenge for custody. or even to enforce court ordered parental rights to see the children, in most states, the mother can make a showing of evidence that he's not the father and thus doesn't deserve the right. But, if she does, she loses her claim on child support. However, she can than file a retroactive order against the bio-dad, if she's not already living with him.
In 20 states, once a man is paying child support, he cannot challenge paternity, but in the other 30 States, he has only 24 Months to learn he's not the father, and file a challenge against being obligated to pay child support. These restrictions are not equally applied to the mothers in a defense of a challenge for custody by the father. In January of 2009, the Kansas Legislature turned down the passage of a law to allow challenges to paternity even in cases where the man has never had contact with the child. The issue rose from a case involving a man who had a claim filed against him while on Active Military Duty when he was unable to return to the US to challenge the claim. Child support claims not limited by the Soldiers & Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1990 (SScRA).
In June of 2009, Missouri became the 30th state to pass the law. Signed by Governor Jay Nixon, it followed the pattern of the other states with the law of having a 24 month limit on a man to learn he's not the father of the child, whether or not he's had contact.
There should be Mandatory Paternity Testing not only in all new Child Support Claims, but perhaps in at the time of all new births. to prevent the mother from filing for retroactive child support on the bio-dad after years of marriage with the child supported by a man who thought he was the father. The words of the day for all men who've been told the are to be a father should be:
