- walterbell 3y agoFrance requires a judicial order. Germany requires only parental consent.
- golem14 3y agoIn practice, what would be the difference? I'd imagine in almost all cases, one parent (likely dad?) wants to get out of child support. Mom will likely not consent, so it's the same or even worse.
- ramblerman 3y agoFinancially perhaps but morally It’s very different. If mom refuses the test at least the father would “know” even if it doesn’t reduce his legal burdens.
- taskforcegemini 3y agoactually would be worse than knowing or not knowing
- walterbell 3y agoThe difference is a group size of two parents vs. a body of law representing a nation of 65 million people.
