ALERT - Delaware Law ignores Children's Identity Rights

Truth's time is always now. It has to be the standard in law and justice, always. When truth is not held as the standard, people suffer, and government integrity is void.

Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

WARNING - In Delaware you can have sex with someone else's wife and then have her husband pay for it. The Delaware Uniform Parentage Act allows it to happen. It could happen to you or someone you love. The law ignores best interest of children in allowing children to be frauded out of their basic human right to know their biological family and familial medical history.

Someone could sleep with your spouse, acting as you, cause pregnancy and leave you stuck with the burden without you ever knowing it. It's not much different than stealing a credit card and running up the bill and walking away for someone else to pay for it. No matter how you look at it, it's fraud!

Imagine your wife has an affair, becomes pregnant with another man's child and leads you to believe that it's your child. According to state law, you are on the financial hook to raise the other man's child because you lacked mind reading abilities and believed your wife, consequently signing the birth certificate. In the event that this act of fraud and dishonesty successfully continues for more than two years, (Section 8-607), the child becomes deprived of an accurate medical history, deprived the right to know his natural father, siblings and have family support. The victimized Dad is held responsible for another man’s child if the marriage ends.

Imagine caring for a child for 6 years, thinking he is your child when one day you discover he's not. All this time you were basing the child's health on your family genetics, only to find that it was the wrong medical basis. How do you care for a child, navigating all the medical pitfalls in his life, without knowledge of the natural family medical history? Imagine frequent trips to the doctor, getting asked family medical history information every time you bring the child to a medical doctor and not being able to answer. 

The Delaware Uniform Parentage Act allows dishonesty, denies a child an accurate medical history and it discriminates by placing burdens on future family stability. Paternity Fraud is a reality for thousands of Delaware families.

Delaware Uniform Parentage Act mutes Fundamental Civil Rights

The Delaware Uniform Parentage Act is likened to a big digital Civil Rights DELETE key on your computer keyboard. The law is so unjust that it allows for outright deliberate fraud! 

Condoning dishonesty. What kind of a message is this sending to our young people?

The law condones dishonesty, reinforces fraud, and turns a blind eye to the long term medical welfare of the child.   The law may make the state an accessory to fraud by allowing the misappropriation of paternity which brings long term harm to the care of a child.

Children do not have a say in the selection of a father, that is only done by the child's mother; Best interest is not relevant to the truth. Either a man is the biological father or adoptive father, there is no middle ground.

The Facts - Actual Delaware Case 

1. The Law’s  two year statute of limitations  devastates a child’s long term medical health care

The law's two year statute of limitations deprives the child the right to his natural father’s family medical history and support. The child's own medical doctor said in writing that it's important for his care. The, “until the child is 18" contract doesn't apply. The child will need care for the rest of his life. It is egregious that the state would not allow his best interest to prevail, but instead focus on the paternity of the victimized Dad. 

If victimized Dad dies along the way, the child continues to be at a disadvantage for care because the state misappropriated victimized Dad in place of the child's natural father. The law needs to be sensitive to the needs of the child and of extreme importance, the child's medical needs. The medical welfare of the child far outweighs a two year statute of limitations. The Indiana Supreme Court noted, "Proper identification of parents and child should prove to be in the best interests of the child for medical and psychological reasons." 

2. Law denies medically important information from being obtained, necessary for child's care

It denies the child the right to immediately obtain medical support from his natural biological father. It denies Mom and everyone who cares for him the right to important family medical history. Guess work with his health isn't in his “Best Interest”. The child's own medical doctor said in writing that it's important for his care.

Having seen this blatant discrimination at the hands of this vague law, the family is respectfully asking that the courts consider the serious implications of arguing that the Constitution supports in any way shape or form ignoring a child's medical rights which have everything to do with accurate paternity determination.

The mother worked to correct her error in paternity, a corrective step in her child's best interest, which to date has been largely ignored. This serious burden that is placed on the mother who has to navigate the child's lifetime medical health with no knowledge of familial health history. This is a violation of Due Process and clearly the opposite of Best Interest.

Medical Reality - Delaware has a high rate of cancer as it ranks 6th in the nation. There are over 30 types of cancer that can only be diagnosed with family medical history in hand. The Delaware Uniform Parentage Act currently gambles with a child's health without requiring biological fathers to provide family medical history to a child's caregivers. In today's world of disease and developmental disabilities, it is imperative to have biological family medical history to raise children from a position of knowledge. Best interest of a child is having this information. It's not just helpful to have it, it's absolute! Dr. Damon of Michigan highlights the medical harm caused by paternity fraud.

3. Law is State Enforced Philanthropy, it destroys family stability

Quote by a Victimized Dad in Delaware, who has a biological family to care for states, "I take issue with the state putting the interest of a child, who isn't my biological child, over my own child's best interest. My child deserves all of my resources as I first have a duty to my family, not someone else's child. There are numerous victims when the state misappropriates paternity, ignores the needs of the child, and then has the audacity to slap "best interest of the child" label on their action, when they clearly ignored his best interest. Any law that impedes a child from immediately receiving care of his biological father is egregious. If I were to die, the child has no right for care or support by his natural father.” Victimized Dad is stuck with all of financial burdens while the child's natural father is carefree to ignore his son's health and support. How could this happen in America?!

4. Law allows child's natural father to ignore his child

Victimized Dad Quote - “Today, because of this unjust and vague law, the child and those who care for him have no right to the natural father's family medical history, or his support. The biological father had a part in creating him, but the state wrongly assigns me as his father and allows the child's real father to ignore his precious son's long term care needs. According to Mom, the child's father knows he has a son, knows he has some special needs, and has chosen to write him off. He's hung up the phone on Mom and the law condones all of this.” This is terribly wrong.
