Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

In the state of Connecticut, if a woman is married before, during, and after the birth of her child, can she legally omit her husband's name on the birth certificate (ignoring the presumtion of paternity), and name another man as the father when applying for state aid?

Also, is it a violation of the right to privacy to force the named "father" to take a paternity test without the husband being disproved as the biological father?

If you think your husband is not the biological father, then you should file a paternity action in the family court. You should ask the court to order that a paternity test be taken by the man who you believe is the biological father.

After a determination is made, then the appropriate name can be placed on the birth certificate.
