The judge said granting paternity to the man would force the mother to have contact with him in order to arrange visitation or make decisions requiring parental authority, which he said would be “unbearable.”

The man withdrew his paternity claim in November, which the judge deemed a “strategic attempt” to leave the door open for future claims.

This judge is awesome.
