In at least one State, when an unwed mother seeks government assistance, she is required to name the father. The man can then either admit to being the father, or submit to a DNA test to prove or disprove paternity. The proven father is then responsible to the county for child support  etc. In some cases the woman rattles off a list of potential suspects. My question is "What happens if no father is proven?  Does she still get assistance? ", and "Who pays?"

I mean, list of suspects does get long in some cases.

Not sure who pays if suspect cannot be found.

Could a woman just start picking names out of a telephone book, or a high school yearbook?
