Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Birth Certificate Name Changed

Unless there is consent on the part of your husband (who is now presumed to be the father), the biological father would need to file a Complaint in which he would request a judgment determining the paternity of the child. Eventually, blood will be taken from both men, the child and you to determine who the father really is and a judgment would be entered on that basis. This should be done immediately because as time goes on, the Court may not allow the blood test to even take place. Time is of the essence. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
