Here's another example:

Father and mother split before the baby is born. He occasionally pays child support. When the child is thirteen, mother decides that the inconsistent 'hand-outs' aren't good enough and asks for a monthly amount so she can budget. He refuses.

She takes him to court. He denies paternity. The judge orders a paternity test. DNA proof positive. The judge throws the book at him. The award far exceeds what mother was asking for in the first place. He has to pay twice as much on a monthly basis plus establish a trust fund for post-secondary education.

Justice will never heal the wound her father inflicted when he denied paternity.
