DNA in the News

An Oklahoma man recently made the news because he is still required to pay child support even though genetic testing proved that he was not the father of the child. In Oklahoma, paternity can no longer be contested after the child turns two years old, and the child in question was already five.

Laws vary by state. Georgia passed a law in 2002 allowing men to end child support payments if DNA testing proved they were not the father. Since then, courts there have not only allowed men to end their child support responsibilities, but also required women to repay child support they have received.
