Re: illegetimate child rights
A child is always considered Legetimate and has the same rights as a child born from a wedlock. I will need more details to look into the matter further.
Re: illegetimate child rights
It is advised that you go for a DNA Test, in any case the Insurance Department may dispute the same, it is better to seek advise from U S lawyers on the legitimate rights of the child to claim, please look for free advice there are lot of US web site who advice you freely about us laws.
