Re: child father
The answers to your questions are probably yes. However, if you are currently married your husband may be the presumed father. That presumption may be overcome, however, that is not an issue on which you want to make a mistake. I suggest that you et the advice of an attorney, because you have two men who you must deal with to accomplish what you want. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
