I think the law is wrong in this case. He didn't suspect his wife was a dirty ho, and had no reason to question their paternity.

Why should he be responsible for 16 years of child care even if he raised kids and paid for kids that weren't his.

In a logical world, she'd have to pay him back for supporting kids that she lied about.

I could see validity if he knew the kids weren't his and he accepted responsibility anyways.
