http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/LegalCenter/daddy-paternity-battle-brothers/story?id=3195632<snip>
Twin brothers Raymon and Richard Miller are the father and uncle to a 3-year-old little girl. The problem is, they don't know which is which. Or who is who.
The identical Missouri twins say they were unknowingly having sex with the same woman. And according to the woman's testimony, she had sex with each man on the same day. Within hours of each other.
When the woman in question, Holly Marie Adams, got pregnant, she named Raymon the father, but he contested and demanded a paternity test, bringing his own brother Richard to court.
But a paternity test in this case could not help. The test showed that both brothers have over a 99.9 percent probability of being the daddy and neither one wants to pay the child support. The result of the test has not only brought to light the limits of DNA evidence, it has also led to a three-year legal battle, a Miller family feud and a little girl who may never know who her real father is.

One brother - divorced - years later married his brother
The family referred to the first husband as "Uncle Brother".

Do feel sorry for the child involved. As is often the case, hers is the life that will most likely be negatively impacted by this mess.

Myself, I would be quite happy to raise my brother's kid, especially my twin brother's kid. Genetically that is no different than my own child.
Paying child support though, is another issue.
