Default paternity testing at birth

If you could get a paternity test at your childs birth without the knowledge or consent of your partner; as in she will not find out you had a paternity test done on your child, nor will she know the results - would you have one?

whether you ask/tell her is optional, whether you have the choice isnt.

why?

I would be for mandatory testing all births.

can't see the harm in it. if your not a coniving sl*t then no problems ....seems like only the people who would have something to hide wouldn't want it.

Yes mandatory available so father could choose now or later to check. Mother and child already have blood work so just save it in system.

Anonim, is there something about this issue that hits close to home?

I'm only asking because I know there is another long thread along the same lines...

This is starting to sound a lot like the American Quarter Horse registry. Before registration papers are issued for a new foal, a DNA test must be performed and parentage verified. At least all of that DNA testing is less than $100. Also, horses carrying a recessive gene for certain genetic diseases have that noted on their certificate. So, I'm thinking on a child, perhaps the birth certificate would be held until parentage can be verified.

Is this really the way to go?

Let's see. Preventing fraud. Yea that seems like the way to go. For that matter we are not even prosecuting fraud and we actually say if you've been robbed for 10 years then your reward is that we're going to make you keep paying for 8 more.

Other forms of fraud are criminal offenses. This one should be too.

No man should be forced to support a child which is not his.

I'm not 10% wild about mandatory DNA. But do think that any man should have the rigtht to run a paternity test on a child born to his wife.

The best time to do this is at birth as the test can be done using umbilical cord blood.

However I think that there should be a time limit. A man has 6-12 months to get this done. After that, if he does not have the test done he's accepting that the child is his legal child whether it's his bio child or not. The reason I say this is that children bond to their father. It's not in the child's best interest to have their father (the one who raised them) abandom them some years later.

I can see why a woman who has been a faithful wife would feel insulted if her husband says he wanted a DNA test to make sure the baby is his.

But I also think that these tests are going to become so common place that most women would not care one way or the other if their husband had the test run.
