rabbiofberlin: Actually, if you want to talk about strict halacha apposed to the spirit of the law, the gemara in kesuvos 49b is very clear on the matter. It clearly says that we CANNOT force a poor father to support his children and we CAN force rich people to support children who are not their own! Very interesting.
