abcnews.go.com — Each brother had sex with the child's mother on the same day. Each want out of the child support obligation on the grounds it is impossible to decide which one is the father on the basis of DNA tests. I think it is pretty simple. They were both sleeping with the woman, they should share the costs.

..... First, let me say that the child needs to be taken care of - by either brother. One of them needs to man up.. But let's not be too hard on Raymon.. After I RTFA, I picked up on a few clips.."The identical Missouri twins say they were unknowingly having sex with the same woman. And according to the woman's testimony, she had sex with each man on the same day. Within hours of each other. "and""'Did you sleep with him [Richard Miller] while in Sikeston for the rodeo?'," Cameron Parker, Richard's lawyer, said she asked Holly Marie Adams in 2003 court testimony, to which she answered "'Yes ma'am.'" "She then said she went to appellant's [Raymon Miller's]home where they had sex later that night or early the next morning," Parker said."To be fair, I don't remember squat about biology or how long your seed takes to get into that egg, but based on the timeline it sure looks like RICHARD should be dishing out the cash. Now the garbage Raymon is spitting about having the state eat the costs is BS, I agree. But I also don't think he should be forced to pay because there IS legitimate doubts that he is the father. The woman was cheating on him with his twin brother (the article makes this clear - the brothers didn't know.... at least Raymon didnt.) It'd be a completely different story if they were NOT identical twins as the paternity test would take care of it, and I'd venture to say most of us diggers would be on Raymon's side. He might be a scumbag in general, but I can at least somewhat see where he's coming from with not wanting to personally pay the support.

Women are hormonal and therefore are not responsible for their behavior?

I read the entire article.Here's a gay abbreviation for you:GFYNeither twin can be proven to be the father, so that child obvisously has two Uncles and no dad.In this case you cannot prove anything more than being the Uncle.

That's interesting reading, but isn't child support an issue of civil law? And aren't the standardsa bit different?Besides, identical twins in the 21st century *know* they share DNA, and therefore *know* they get away with games like this. If they want to share the same woman, then they should share responsibility for the offspring whatever random sperm happens to propagate.

Well, I guess this is a natural way to get two Fathers...

Before DNA testing, mommy got to pick the daddy. She could say most anything and that was it. Unless you had a iron clad alibi, like you were out of the country you were in trouble. All three of them are losers. If, you do not want to be labeled a daddy, keep your wick in your pants. It is very simple and effective. The judge just let the mommy decide. I have a guess the lucky winner happens to be the wealthier of the two.

How funny would it be, if it was the same guy, both times?
