Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: family law

You asked about liability for the child, by another man, of your current wife.

The law here is very tricky. You must seek counsel immediately to manage this situation. Failure to retain counsel or successfully prosecute this matter could result in being time barred from making any claims in the future.

As a general rule, a child born of an in tact marriage is considered a product of that marriage. The Court looks to enforce the best interests of that child and the non-biological father should act immediately to preserve his rights.

Re: family law

In order to avoid the litigation in the future, it would be wise to institute divorce proceedings immediately. By doing so, you would avoid the argument that the child was born "of the marriage."
