Legislature targets alimony, paternity legislation - Oregon
theworldlink.com
Excerpts:
A bill that would end alimony after an ex-spouse remarries has backers in both parties, and one giving men more time to challenge paternity claims is headed to a Senate vote.
Effects could be broad-reaching. Oregon has 15,000 divorces a year, and about a quarter of challenged paternity cases show the man in question is not the father.
"At some point, you should not be able to go back to a former spouse and reconnect for support," said Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene. Senate Bill 945 would do that.
Senate Bill 234, voted out of committee last week, would allow a married man to end his paternity obligations if blood or DNA tests prove the child is not his.
The bill would give an unmarried man two years to challenge a paternity claim. Current law allows one year.

Although most paternity dna testing is a reliable way to determine the father of a child, it is still considered 99.9 percent accurate. Costs for dna legal paternal tests might be in the neighborhood of six hundred dollars in some states. As most costs would dictate, dna testing for paternity or other issues will make the cost of the analysis rise.
