Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Is it?
I keep seeing this statistic tossed around that 10% of us don't really have the father we think we do. I think that's one of those numbers that started as speculation and everyone picked up on it as fact, but I know it's got to be true sometimes.

So let's say someone dies without a will, and with enough of an estate that people are willing to fight over it. If someone was raised as a son, the deceased is listed as the father on the birth certificate, no one ever challenged paternity until the probate fight ... what does the law say?

is the father, people have been using dna testing and suing over not paying child support on kids that are not theirs. Courts have consistently ruled against them
