Article here. Excerpt:
'The Tennessee Supreme court has agreed to hear a case that could decide whether a man has legal grounds to sue for being duped into supporting a child that turns out to be fathered by someone else.
Legal experts believe it may be the first time for the state’s highest court to decide whether paternity fraud is grounds to sue.
The court could give a man the right to recover some of the expense of caring for the child and win damages for emotional suffering for the paternity fraud. Lawyers say it’s unlikely the man would be able to recover past child-support payments.'

Why Not??
"Lawyers say it’s unlikely the man would be able to recover past child-support payments"
Why not? It was FRAUD!!
Not only should he recover all past payments and emotional distress, SHE should be incarcerated for perpetrating the crime !!!

Recovering Assets?
In a fair and sane culture men who are survivors of paternity fraud would be able to recover any assets from the perp and the perp would be incarcerated. But predatory females have the "pussy pass" and so they are immunized from any significant prosecution or penalty.
