Re: Family Law
Il Law in this area is tricky. The husband is presumed to be the father and will have to pay support until he goes to court and its determined he is not the father. If the man signs a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity, he is liable for child support, EVEN IF HE IS NOT THE FATHER. Such a document is not often used for married couples. If you have more specific questions or additional facts, email me back.
Re: Family Law
It is assumed that a child of the marriage is a child of the husband and wife.
You can prove otherwise and then the husband would not be liable.
