Paternity Fraud

There are millions of cases every year in the United States of mothers who aren’t 100 percent sure of who the father of her child is. In some cases, a woman may tell a man he is in fact the father of her child, even if she doesn’t know for certain, in order to get financial support.

A man may eventually find out that he is not the father of his partner’s child and that the mother actually deceived him into believing he was. This act is known as paternity fraud and can cause a large number of problems. When these men are lied to and believe they are the fathers, they may spend thousands of dollars raising children they believe to be theirs. If you have suffered from paternity fraud, you need a professional legal representative on your side so call one today.

Paternity Fraud

The basic definition of paternity fraud is when a woman knowingly deceives a man into believing he is the father of her child. In many cases, the woman may not know who the real father is but still wants to get financial support to help raise her child.

A man typically believes the woman if he believes he was the mother’s only sexual partner at the time of conception. Paternity fraud could make a man pay large amounts of child support for a child that isn’t actually his.
