[QUOTE="witzend, post: 605191, member: 99"] I'm thinking that the laws about paternity which name the husband as father no matter what are a throw back to the days when sex outside of marriage was a mortal sin. They couldn't[I] have[/I] illegitimate children running around embarrassing people. In OR, even way back when, you didn't have to name the daddy, but if you wanted any support from the government you did, and if a man was named as father either he had to sign it to agree, or contest it and prove he wasn't. Cumbersome, but it's much more fair than "If you married her, it's yours". [/QUOTE]
