2007The juvenile court further reasoned that the hearing had been specially set for some time, and that the parties had received sufficient opportunity prior to the hearing to complete paternity testing and to obtain any necessary evidence.

2007See In the Interest of R.C.M., 284 Ga.App. ___ , ___, n. 6, 645 S.E.2d 363 (2007). [4] Paternity test results later established that the father was Q.P.A.'s biological father based upon a 99.998 percent probability. [5] At a prior hearing, the juvenile court instructed the father's counsel to promptly pursue his petition to legitimate and request for paternity test, and forewarned that the specially set hearing date would not be delayed.

1999As I stated in Smith v. Dept. of Human Resources, 226 Ga.App. 491, 493 , 487 S.E.2d 94 (1997), "the law should not punish a purported father for failing to insist on a paternity test when he has no reason to believe that he is not the father." Not only has the putative father been cuckolded, the law adds injury to insult by requiring him to pay child support even after he establishes that he is not the biological father.
