The New York State Court of Appeals recently held that a man who has been told he is the Father of a child will be held accountable to pay child support even if the Mother knew that he was not the Father as long as the child has known the man to be the child's Father. The Court held that if a child justifiably relied on the man's representation of paternity (fatherhood) to the child's detriment, such paternity would not be eliminated even if future DNA tests proved that the man was not actually the Father. Matter of Shondel J., New York Law Journal, July 7, 2006, p.22, col.1 |
