Legal Question in Family Law in California

Is the child his?

A young man I know separated from his wife about 3 years ago but never filed for divorce. His ''ex'' is now pregnant by her boyfriend. Since this young man is legally still married to his ''ex'' could he potentially have any legal obligations to this child?

Re: Is the child his?

The potential is certainly there as there is a presumption that he is the father. This presuption is overcome very easily by DNA testing or a stipulation of the parties. He should file his dissolution ASAP and establish through the dissolution that this is not his child. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
