The Paternity Ward is a bar catering to expectant fathers fleeing town.
It is seen in the season 6 episode, "She's Having My Baby (Part 2)"
Description[]
It appears to be a sort of dive bar located near a bus station. Its primary function is to serve alcohol and provide fake identifications for men planning to abandon their pregnant wives and start over in a new location. The sound system does not play music but is instead hooked up to bus terminal announcement system so that the patrons do not miss their ride out of town. Lined up against the wall are several vending machines that will dispense fake identities, including driver's licenses, passports, social security cards, and fake beards. There is also a pool table available.
Along with the bartender, there are at least two other women who work there and add class to the business. One woman dances on the bar for tips and another serves as a vendor who walks around the bar selling items such as hair dye, fake mustaches, falsified family trees/lineage and chewing gum.
