Mandatory paternity testing = who’s your daddy / the dadsclub.com.au debate
Up to 30% of men who had a DNA paternity test found out they were not the father – OUCH!!!!
How would you feel believing little Mary was yours when in fact she was the milkman’s or worse still one of your mates - (hardly a true a mate?).
Seems the test is wheeled out mostly when partners split up – or is this the reason for the split? And is this a good enough reason to initiate a bust up?
DNA testing has been available in the US for some time, but now in the US (New York), these DNA tests can now test for paternity. Makes us wonder what these yankess were testing before.
Surely this is about education, values, ethics and trust or rather the lack of all the above.
A Sole Parents Union spokesperson said it was the 2007 law change that led to the explosion in DNA testing.
This has to really muck kids around – I mean, could a man honestly say something like….”sorry, I know I have been your dad all these years, but it seems I wasn’t there for a critical 60 second burst of semen, many years ago and well ya see, it appears I ain’t your real daddy any more.”
We reckon if you’ve accepted being the dad, you can’t turn around and change your mind based on some lab report. Or maybe you’ve had a enough and the lab test is your ticket out of there.
The Family Law court will base its’ decision on who the actual parents are – some may see the $300 lab kit as a real deal…if you’re that way inclined – but then again, you probably ain’t the caring dad we aspire to be at www.dadsclub.com.au

it’s gonna be boom time for the vasectomy business!
a mother had her grand children DNA tested which confirmed her suspicion. she then told her son. They claim they knew early enough to sever any relation with that one affected child. yes it was in America, but could that happen down-under?
I bet these DNA kits are around the aisle from condoms and abortion kits…where has the control and commitment gone
Exactly what were we using the DNA kits for, before these paternity kits arrived
These tests have been around in other US states for many years – how can NY’ers consider themselves so progressive when they drag the chain on innovation that bolsters our human rights?
A vasectomy procedure is the most effective form of contraception available for men but any surgery comes with cost and some blokes complain that after the clinic procedure, the post-op pain never really goes away.
But this pain will subside unlike the knowledge of being conned into believing this kid was your and it never was.
Draconian
Hey guys I am all for standing up for men in all the wrongs done to them from all the women out there just abusing the system for there own gain ! My Fiance and I have been victum for the last year . the DNA testing , my fiance has thought about it for his 3 daughters as his Ex was so busy sleeping around for their 18 year marriage ,that he just doesnt realy know for certain ,but if we found out we would never say to them we are not going to have anything to do with them anymore ,we would still love them just as much ,two of them are nothing like him and one is exactly like him . I have 6 children myself and all of them 3 boys and 3 girls are all exacly like me ! The men who do the test have to realise about the children and what they would tell the child giving circumstances of course ,I know apart from my own case , I have found most men more then women are thinking of the children in all the bull that goes on with custody. As the women have been fed well with what they can and how much they can get out of it all !!
I agree with you Carol. fatherhood is about the relationship, not the act of conception. Kids only know the relationship with dad, not about the DNA. The DNA paternity testing is about the issue of lack of trust.
It is none thing to get the information, but we strongly suggest you contemplate what you will do with that info when you get it.
[...] The Daily Mail led the pack with: ‘Over-the-counter DIY paternity tests go on sale at Britain’s biggest high street chemist chain today amid fears that they will tear families apart’ (1 February). Even dads’ groups repeat this: ‘Up to 30% of men who had a DNA paternity test found out they were not the father – OUCH!!!!’ [...]
Wow, I can’t believe this article. It appears to be trying to demonise any man for wanting to know if the woman he has been with and loved, has been sleeping around, been a traitor to their professed love, and been an adulterer, and that the children they have are his. After all, 50% of them are going to break up and these women are going to make this poor sucker ex husband pay dearly for decades to come.
It should be mandatory at the birth of every single child, that paternity is tested and established.
For too many years men have had to put up the lies, cunning and deciet of women, but then have all these stupid (Eunuch) males out there defending their rights. The public vilification of men, where women say you can’t trust men, because men only think with their penises and are always playing around, is now at the point of idiocy, because the reverse is actually true.
Actually, I firmly believe it is women who have less morals in this world. But lets look at the above paragraph. If it is true that all the men in these marriages are playing around, then who the heck are they playing around with?
Have they all gone queer and become homos?
No. The only answer is that they have been playing around with……..wait for it…..yes WOMEN!!!
Funny that. So for every cheating man there is a cheating woman and they are often both married. How dare these women then lie to their husbands and make him believe that the stray dog that sucked in by this ‘b…h in heat’, got her pregnant but you have to believe the child belongs to you and if we split up, you will pay child support for decades.
No sorry!
Don’t vilify the men who want to know if the children they care for are theirs. They have a right to know!
Start publicly vilifying the women who cheat and introduce mandatory DNA Paternity tests.
Its the only way.
I had a dna test done when my baby girl was born last year. In the following year, I have come to love her so much that I wouldn’t care if I am the biological father or not. The mother is a proper piece of work. We were never together and I wouldn’t care if I never saw her again but my little girl is my little girl and I’m committed to give her my best for life.
