Queen Latifah Doesn’t Want a Show about Paternity Tests

Article here. Excerpt:

'As David Letterman interviewed Queen Latifah about her new talk show the actress revealed that she had no desire to delve into the realm of paternity testing. That could be due to the controversial nature of the court system when it comes to determining the rights and responsibilities of a father.

In cases of paternity fraud, the mentality of the courts seem to be skewed. If a man is able to prove that he is not the father of a child of a woman with whom he had relations with, the court can still come after him for financial payments of past due amounts. Laws regarding paternity are archaic and unjust in many forms. Although each state is different, it seems that men are usually the target. It could be a difficult battle to wipe the slate clean if a man is proven he is not the father of a child. How does the court feel justified in victimizing a man in such a manner?
...
As long as the father contests paternity prior to the child being born, a man stands a better chance to clear his name and financial responsibilities. It is the man’s trust in the word of the woman that can cause immense amount of emotional and financial distress later on. As close to 30-percent of paternity cases show the man to not be the biological father. Laws are being changed frequently, but a man could still be on the hook to pay for a child that is not his.'
