[Blood group opinion and judicial judgement 1. 250 paternity cases 1965-1970 (author's transl)].
In 250 paternity actions (one-man one-child affairs 1965-1970) without exclusion by blood group opinion, which include 48 cases involving persons from abroad, 41 men acknowledged the paternity or withdrew the suit during the process. 32 cases were judged by default. 174 men were judged of child support according to the former 1717 BGB, 13 of these after an anthropological expertise. In 2 cases the anthropological opinion gave an indication of nonpaternity; accordingly, the court dismissed the action. In 157 cases the plausibility of paternity according to Essen-Möller's formula was calculated by the expert and dealt with in the blood group opinion. It appears, however, that the W values had no remarkable influence on the decision of the court.
