What if a husband is not the biological father of a child?

If a mother is married when a child is conceived or born, her husband is presumed to be the legal father unless a court order finds otherwise. This is true even if a child is born within 10 months of a divorce.


If the husband is not the biological father of the child, a court Order must be obtained which specifically identifies the child and finds that he is not the legal father.
