Re: Invalid
Her husband is the presumed father. That presumption can be overcome by dna tests. However, the husband has only two years after birth in which to request a dna test. Therefore it would appear that after the paternity presumption becomes conclusive. If you are the bio father then you should immediately file a paternity suit or hope that the husband does nothing for two years.
