This is actually way more dangerous than you realize. I had a pregnancy scare with a Filipina a couple of years back. It turned out to be a lie, but it was frightening as all hell. I met with a local lawyer said it works like this:
The woman contacts your division of child support enforcement in your home State, which then will compel you to take a DNA test. If you are the father of the child, your wages will be garnish and sent overseas.
It should be noted that the US has child support enforcement treaties with a number of countries that explicitly allow these types of international child support claims. However, even if there is NOT a child support treaty in place, a US Child Support agency will still process the claim of a foreign woman against an American man anyway. They will do this even though an American woman would not be able to press a claim against a man from that other country who knocked her up.
How's that for American feminism?
