What is Paternity Fraud?

Paternity fraud happens when a man is misled into believing he’s a child’s biological father. The fallout can be devastating—emotionally, financially, and legally. Fathers may spend years providing care without knowing the truth, while children miss the chance to fully understand their identity.

At NotDaFather.com, we raise awareness of this issue to push for truth, accountability, and justice.

Why This Matters

  • Studies suggest disputed paternity tests show misattributed fatherhood in 17–30% of cases.
  • Fathers and children face lasting emotional trauma when truth is hidden.
  • Laws are inconsistent, leaving many fathers without fair recourse.
  • Every child deserves to know their biological roots.
