I would think that the accuser ( the mother) would have to prove that the man was the father? In this case, the defendent and the wrongfully judged guilty party had to prove he was innocent. The system seems pretty jacked up to me.

This is actually the law in many states. Even if it is proven you are not the biological father, if you've acted as the father for a period of time you can be on the hook for child support until the child is 18.

I know a dude tha paid support for 7 years. Somebody told him he should get a paternity test. He found out he was not the father. He got out of future support, but the judge told him he was SOL on what he had paid in the past.

Kind of like a particular land law. I heard that if you maintain a parcel of land for ten years, it is considered your land by law. My next door neighbor mows a piece of land (8' x 50') in between our houses. This land is on his side of the fence, but it's my property as far as the actualy land plot is concerned. I told him that he doesn't have to mow it, that I will mow it. But he keeps on mowing it. He even seeded it and all the good stuff and it looks really nice. At least once a year I'll make sure I mow it just so he can't claim it after a period of time.
