"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?
