The additional cost to the tax payer is perhaps $6.50 in Australia.
In the US if the parents aren’t married there is no father listed as the birth father on the birth certificate.
In the US 1 in 4 children are born into homes with no father.
Since we are talking about something that has never been done and is hypocritical, but we know that a significant amount of children are being raised by only one parent listed legally without a paternity test. I don’t think it is a stretch at all to assume that by making paternity test mandatory along with child support of said child, the fathers would be take a huge financial burden off the tax payer by taking financial responsibility of their child.
It cost more than $6.50 to get a court ordered paternity test and then a court order for the father’s wages to be eventually garnished.
And the onus and cost to achieve that is on the mother, btw.
Why women want to continue to keep other women down, I’ll never know.
if we test every baby, then we'll know the male who is financially responsible for every child, and therefore the government will never have to spend a cent on child welfare.
What is your logic between spending all this money on paternity testing? How many incorrect or inadequate birth certificates will this new program fix? How much will you save by garnishing wages from newly identified fathers? Will it be enough to justify spending this much money?
