Re: Paternity
You could always attempt this, but the law does not look favorably upon cuckholding (which is the practice of getting a married woman pregnant though not by the husband). In the eyes of the law, the husband of the mother at the time of the birth is the child's father. The most likely result would be a dismissal of the petition if the husband or mother objects.
