These days, DNA test are easy to get and considered very accurate. In the case where the identity of the father is in question, a DNA test is pretty much the definitive decision maker, and can have huge financial impacts when you consider things like child support.
However, I'm curious how paternity was legally established, for purposes of child support, before DNA testing was available?
