Who’s your daddy?

[greg334]

I am watching Fox, a rarity for me – honestly.

Now here is a story about a woman who had relations with two men on the same day and now has a kid because of it.

The women and the men want to resolve who the father really is because neither of them wants to pay for child support. She named one of the men on the birth certificate but he brought his brother to court to force a paternity test so to avoid paying the child support.

But the problem is that the men are identical twins and they have the same exact DNA and the paternity test can’t determine the father of the kid.

So the court has decided that the father who was named on the birth certificate is responsible for the child but he is going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court which I am trying to figure out what reason would he have to go all the way up to a federal court for this, the child should come first.

What a dirt bag. He'll spend more on lawyers fighting it than doing the right thing. Sounds like some good examples of the need for forced sterilization.

The name on a birth certificate does not necessarily indicate paternity; the name is often that chosen by the birth mother. A case in point is the Anna Nicole Smith situation where the name was the wrong father but the local law sided with the birth certificte entry.

In the case of the twins, they each had opportunity and either of their sperm could have fertilized her egg. If I were the judge and had only the info Greg provided, I'd rule that they each had joint custody if they choose to accept that plus, I'd rule that they each had joint support responsibility.
