AN INTERESTING ANGLE TO THE SCHWARZENEGGER CASE:

The Arnold Schwarzenegger paternity case has revealed a large flaw in California family law, one which, ironically, Schwarzenegger attempted to fix while Governor. The flaw? Schwarzenegger fathered a child with Mildred Patty Baena, who was married to Rogelio Baena at the time. Under California law, Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be obligated to pay a dime in child support–but deceived husband Rogelio Baena would be.

These presumptions perhaps made sense in the days before DNA. Nowadays, I think they’re of dubious constitutionality. And though on a slightly different topic, I recommend this from Michael Higdon.

UPDATE: Reader Leslie Graves notes a different outcome in Kentucky just this week.
