Not a lawyer myself – just surrounded by them. My wife is an attorney, more than a dozen of my friends (from childhood and school) became lawyers, I have three uncles and a grandfather who were lawyers, and our “social circle” includes too many to count.
Anyway, for those in the US, a court-admissible (different from those low-cost tests which will allow an individual to learn the truth; but which lack the chain of custody that a court would require) DNA paternity test is going to be $500 – $700 (on the low end, with more expensive alternatives available). The costs of filing a Small Claim Court civil suit varies by jurisdiction, but is typically $50 or less.
In such cases, one typically represents oneself, so it’s simply a matter of the time and filing fee. And, even if a woman doesn’t have much money, the courts are likely to instruct the parties to come up with payment arrangements that the court will then order. [There is no equivalent to this in the UK?]
It’s not perfect, but if enough women who just “picked” a guy because they knew he had more money that their baby-daddy ended up with judgments against them, word would get around, and women would be more likely to not try to hook some guy they knew couldn’t be the father.
