Article here. Excerpt:

'OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma man said he was almost obligated to pay thousands of dollars to support two children who, as it turned out, weren’t even his.

Now his attorney is pushing for changes in DHS policies and state law.

Family law attorney Lawrence Goodwin admits he doesn’t like deadbeat dads who avoid child support but he also doesn’t like deceptive moms.

“I have the same disdain for people who mislead another human being and have them obligated to be a father of a child that they’re not,” Goodwin said.
...
“You have 60 days to come back and say ‘I made a mistake. It’s not my kid. I took a DNA test’, or ‘she told me the truth and it’s not my child’,” Goodwin said.

After that 60-day deadline, Okla. law states a man would have to prove he was deceived into thinking he was the biological father, by “fraud, duress or material mistake of fact”… within two years.”'

This one "got away"-- i.e., he almost got snared into paying for someone else's kids but, gosh darnit, got away!

But notice, if de baby mama can keep her victim hornswaggled for two years, she's got him.

Warning to all men: Anytime a woman proffers you a baby, get a paternity test. Any time, no exceptions, married or not. So many men say, "I had no idea! I *never* would have suspected she'd do that to me! There was nothing wrong between us!" Yes, and most men handed divorce service say they never saw it coming, either.

If you and she aren't in a rel'p, demand a paternity test via the courts. Never assume you're de daddy. Never.
