    ‘Cuz nobody back then ever cheated…

    Further the reality of parentage doesn’t change with a divorce. This is arbitrary bullshit.

      People cheated for sure, but if you were married you were simply on the hook for the offspring even if it wasn’t yours.

      I’m not saying the law is good, I’m saying it made sense for the time it was passed in. Now that we have genetic testing to confirm paternity or should be repealed.
