Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Re: unborn child adoption

There is a presumption that a child born within 10 months of a marriage is a "child of the marriage." If your fiance accepts the child as his during the marriage and in every way acts as the child's father, the child will be legally presumed his, unless the biological father starts a paternity action before you're married. Short of divorce, in which custody might be come an issue, there are very few ways biological fathers can assert their paternity rights (or be saddled with the obligation of child support) in this situation. It's a back door to adoption, so make sure you both understand the implications.
