"Establishing paternity is the process of determining the legal father
of a child. When parents are married, paternity is automatically
established in most cases. If parents are unmarried, paternity
establishment is not automatic and the process should be started by both
parents as soon as possible for the benefit of the child."

Note that "paternity" is automatically established even if the child is
biologically unrelated to the husband. If the situation was reversed, do
you think "maternity" would be "automatically established" even though
the wife is NOT the mother? Not a snowball's chance in a blast furnace!
ONLY in matriarchal AmeriKa.

Also note that Schwarzenegger recommends that BOTH parents should start
the paternity establishment process "as soon as possible" for the
"benefit of the child". First of all, NO child benefits from such
process; and secondly, what man in his right mind would voluntarily
start a process that will extort his money/freedom?

Paternity cannot be established until after a live birth. Up until that
point the mother can control the situation by having an abortion or
hiding her pregnancy from the father. In far too many cases of unwed
births the mother has had sex with multiple sex partners and she has no
idea who the father might be.

The correct advice for putative fathers is to register with the state
where the mother resides to establish their rights before the child is
born. Even then the child can be adopted out for money without the
father's knowledge.

Not sure what "rights" such registration affords men, if any. But since
the mother can STILL sell the child, what purpose does registering with
the state accomplish other than to assist the "child support" people in
assigning him the title of "father" for the purposes of stealing his
money/freedom?

The "right" is to be advised of any adoption effort and to be in line to
exercise parental rights before potential adoptive parents if the mother
chooses to give up the child.

Related to CS - the mother can be ordered to pay CS to the CP father.

Besides hiding the adoption to allow the mother to sell the child to
adoptive parents, keeping the adoption process away from the father helps
the mother avoid having to pay CS for a child she chooses not to keep.
