"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.
