re: Should a paternity test be mandatory?

It should be mandatory but it never will be because the uncomfortable fact of the matter is the government would rather have an unknowing husband/father take care of a child that isn't his in a stable home rather than break up a relationship forcing the child to have a single mother.

Great point.

I already asked this but would like to know if any fathers here have had a paternity test on their own. Not out of suspicion but just as a precaution against the possibility of raising and supporting a kid that’s not yours.
