Court to test the rights of cuckolds.
Vanda Carson April 20, 2006 The Australian.
A LOOMING battle that could allow cuckolded men to sue deceitful wives for the cost of raising children conceived outside their marriage has been described by High Court judge Michael Kirby as opening a "Pandora's box".
If the full bench of the High Court rules in favour of Victorian father Liam Magill, the court will set the ball rolling for dozens of new compensation cases, including those brought by men who learn they are not genetically related to their children and who want to recover child-support payments and other damages.
Mr Magill has alleged he was tricked into paying tens of thousands of dollars to his unfaithful former wife in support of two children that were not his own.
However, Justice Kirby said the court would have to take care in deciding the case.
"This is the Pandora's box we open ... every case where the male, hurt and having to pay child support, is unhappy about it, they are going to sue and claim minutiae of time they spent with the child who turns out not to be their genetic child," he said.
"We all know that in the family law situation, it is not just an ordinary case about money, it is often a case that involves a lot of emotion."
While the Liam Magill case could pave the way for dozens of new compensation cases, the same principle could also be used by an embittered "ex" who claims to have been duped into marriage because their partner said they were a millionaire, or they "owned a country castle".

How did the guy find out the children were not his?? I think he should get back every cent, with interest.

OK, but what made him suspicious in the first place?
