Doing DNA at birth would be much cheaper. You're already in the hospital, they already have the mother's blood drawn, much cheaper to do and solves a HUGE problem we're having for future generations. It could be up to the father whether or not they want to KNOW the results, but at least they are given that option and the test is done.

...ONE word from Joseph that Mary was pregnant and the child was not his would have caused MARY to be stoned to death for adultery. You forget that "No fault" did not exist in those days.

...if we started doing DNA tests at birth, THINK about the HUGE database of DNA "prints" we would have? ANY crime committed could be solved in MINUTES (you drop an average of a million skin cells a DAY) and based on DNA.
Of course, there would be those that would fight to beat it, but we would have somewhere to start once we have a DNA sample from the scene.

Also paternity didn't exist and absent any cause to believe she'd been unfaithful, why do you assume they'd take his word over hers?
Besides, do you really believe God would have allowed his unborn son to be stoned with the mother? :P

claim its letting the government into our lives too much. So? They have your DNA on file? Big woopie. What are they going to do, violate your DNA?
*I* say those that fight it have something to hide.

...and women were not at the same level that they are now. His word would have been taken, and she would be dead.
"Besides, do you really believe God would have allowed his unborn son to be stoned with the mother?"
That would be cruel, huh? Better to allow him to survive, grow up in ridicule, be arrested and convicted, beaten, and eventually crucified. LOL, maybe the kid would have been better off if she HAD been stoned?

If someone lied to me about a child the last thing I would be doing is signing myself up for financial obligation. Doesn't mean I wouldn't try to maintain a relationship with the child....but giving her a chunk of my income? Hell no. Shouldn't he be allowed to keep his money so he has a chance one day to have children of his own and give them a decent life. Not his fault his ex is a bleep, not the childs fault either. But he has shared enough of the burden and shouldn't have to do anymore.

It is my fault not to include more details when I posted the last message.
I was defrauded by both my wife and the child. I have just found out that my wife has been in contact with the man (my daughter's biological father who is not USA) all these years. The child knows about this and did not tell me!!! My love for the child is completely gone. My wife wants to file for divorce because she wants to marry this man and sponsor him to immigrate to USA. They are going to "re-unite" in a complete family and while I will be left with a completely broken heart.
Ethically I am pretty sure that I should not pay child support. My question is that if this case goes to court, is my wife's request for child support going to be rejected by the judge for sure? I am a low-income earner and I can not afford to hire a lawyer for my divorce in court. So any legal advice is very helpful.

[quote]Not to dampen this jovial joking conversation, but in reality, Joseph would likely have been stoned to death for abandoning a wife and child. [/quote]
You need to read the Bible and a couple of history books. Mary would have been stoned if the kid wasn't his (which is exactly what he was afraid of)..LOL..they didnt stone men in those days for that kind of stuff..in fact, when it came to children, women basically had NO rights to the kid..the father was all that mattered.
