When a man is said to be the father of a child in order to claim child support, it then becomes His burden to deny the claim. If He fails to make a claim within a certain amount of time, the government will go after Him for money. The reason behind this is simple. The government takes a cut of all child support money paid through them. This means they have an incentive to after the guy with money. There's also zero incentive to go after the biological father, as there's no penalty for going after the wrong guy.
*I know this is insanely far off topic, but I wanted to post it for both the Imp and anyone else naive enough to not realize how this works. Might delete it and send a PM later.
This is the same guy that didn't believe men could wind up being forced to pay child support for some other guy's kid.
