My husband divorced his now ex-wife 3 years ago. Since she has fallen on 'hard times' she has decided now to peruse child support from my husband. We know for a fact that her eldest child is not his biological child. She was preg when they first got together but he signed the birth certified, thinking they would be together forever. But it was found out after the divorce was finalized that she has cheated all the way through there 5 year marriage and now highly questions the birth of his son.
He wants to do a paternity test to see if the second is his child. If neither child is from him, is he able to withdraw his name from there birth certificates?
I can not blame him for not wanting to pay for 'someone elses childern'.
There is a rebuttable presumption of paternity if the parents were married at the time of birth or if the presumptive father signed the birth certificate . If an Acknowledgement of Paternity was signed he is the legal father whether or not he is the biological father . As there is no child support order in place , he can try to contest paternity unless he unknowingly also signed an AOP with the birth certificate .
