Resources for Paternity Fraud

Two useful resources for looking up the effects of paternity fraud are the Canadian Children’s Rights Council and Duped Dads. The Canadian Children’s Rights Council is focused on the laws surrounding children’s rights and details the current legislation on the subject as well as advocates for change. They also spotlight recent cases of paternity fraud and try to raise awareness on the subject. Unfortunately, the father and the child have less rights under the law, making paternity fraud a real problem.

Duped Dads speaks out for fathers everywhere that have been financially and emotionally taken by a mother who knows that he isn’t the biological father of the child. Unfortunately, when paternity tests aren’t performed, the man might be labeled the father under the law but, in reality, might not be the biological father. This site offers strategies for combating paternity fraud, which would not only protect the “duped dads” but also protect the child by not allowing false paternal information that isn’t supported by DNA testing to be allowed.
