What is paternity fraud? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Basically it is when a woman makes a false claim of the identity of the biological father of her child or children. There are a few states which have established laws pertainint to the issue, most states assume that any man named as the biological father will remain legally so until the claim is contested and paternity is determined by DNA or a traditional blood test.
Such a charge is usually brought in civil court when a man contests paternity and seeks relief and restitution for monies already paid for child support or to be excluded from the legal responsibility of payment of support.
