I'm curious... What if a married woman, whose husband earns maybe $20K
per year, has an affair with a "fabulously wealthy" gentleman who earns
over $100K.

There is a pregnancy, she gives birth, her husband is legally (in
many/most states) the "father".

Later, she divorces her husband and gets that standard custody and CS
arrangement. But she knows her ex isn't the father, and she could get a
lot more cash from the bio dad. The state knows this too.

Is there any way for her to insist that ex-hubby be let off the hook so
she can pursue biodad? Surely the state would be in favor of this if it
meant more federal incentive money, yes?

Interesting idea. Being the optimistic sob that I am.. I'd have to say that
the state would keep the non-bio dad on the hook until such time as the
state can land bio dad in family court and slam him with C$ and a huge
arrears. Of course, non-bio dad will have to take the state to court, fight
them for a few more years, then they "might" let him go before he reaches
his 80's and just can't produce for them and longer...
