Time Magazine: Duped Dads Fight Back

Story here. Excerpt:

"Advocates for these so-called duped dads say such men should be treated as victims of fraud and liken the need for paternity-disestablishment amendments to truth-in-lending laws. They point to many an egregious case in which the law's marital presumption of fatherhood has ended up enslaving a divorced dad, like the Michigan man who proved he had not sired his son but was still ordered to send child-support payments directly to the boy's biological father, who was granted custody after the mom moved out of his place and left the kid there. Increasingly, policymakers across the country are turning a sympathetic ear to such complaints. Florida last year joined Georgia and Ohio in allowing a man to walk away from any financial obligations regardless of how many years he may have been acting as a minor's father if he discovers he was deceived into parenthood. Fathers' rights groups in Colorado, Illinois and West Virginia are pushing for similar legislation that would remove or extend existing time limits for challenging paternity."

Ya gotta love the quote from the fembot about how this is just another instance of men deserting children...

As a matter of language, I suppose we've all been dumbed down to the point where 'cuckolded', a word which has been used for 750+ years, is no longer in the vocabulary. There was a reason some bright guy invented the chastity belt long ago, too.
