Paternity fraud
Paternity fraud, the term, came into common use in the late 1990s describing the act of falsely naming a man to be the biological father of a child when the mother knows (or suspects) that he is not the biological father, particularly for child support purposes. In many jurisdictions, the husband of the mother of a child is held to be the father.
