Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

child's birth record

Hello,

I might have asked this question before but it seems it was not understood.

If a mother and a father of a child are not married when the child is born but later marry, they can of course go through steps including signing the birth certificate and civil records change at the notary.

Those steps were taken. If the mother and father later divorce and he decides he is not the father what can he do to have the birth record changed to remove his name? Can he demand a paternity test?

It depends. It will be up to a judge whether to disregard an acknowledgment of paternity.

Someone would have to know the specific facts and review the paperwork to let you know what the judge will likely do.

If we can help let us know.
