Re: Who is the Legal Father
The law presumes the husband is the father; however, in your circumstances, clearly, he is not and you should place the proper father on the birth certificate. I strongly suggest that you consult with a family law attorney. I concur with Attorney Lebensbaum that you probably have further questions that are not presented here. Good luck!
