I'm not crazy about that mandatory paternity test idea. Think about the numbers for a second, and the consequences. For example in Finland (pop 5,2 mil) there's about 60 000 children born every year. Let's say that 10% is about the right number for cases where the "assumed" father (the long term romantical partner) is not the actual biological father. With extreme luck about half of those relationships would survive those news. That would still leave create about 3000 "new" broken families every year. Assuming the fertility rates in Canada is something similar, that would mean about 18,000 cases in Canada, per year. Some of those kids would not be firstborns, so you'd have an additional 20,000+ kids every year who would grow up in broken families.
Of course those numbers are really rough guesses, but I think the point is clear.
It's better to have a family with two parents, even if one of them is not your biological parent. Mandatory tests would just bring unnecessary pains for everyone.
Besides, I for one would rather think that my kid _could_ be mine than be confirmed it's not. I would propably not get a test. Biology isn't everything.
(That doesn't mean it's okay to lie to someone just for the money. That's just fraud.)
