Missouri seeks to help 'duped dads'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Now, cases such as Salazar's are inspiring legislation in Missouri and across the country that would make it easier for men to use genetic tests to shed financial support.

Salazar doesn't have that option now. Under Missouri law, he was presumed to be a father simply because he was married to the mother when she gave birth.

The same law gives men, both married and unmarried, a limited time frame to challenge paternity. After those deadlines have passed, even DNA tests often aren't enough to shake paternity obligations.'

It should be good enough for paternity.
If not WHY NOT??!!!

We need a really good reason as to why fraud is perpetuated, even when the truth is known.
