The child was born or conceived during the marriage. That makes her husband the PRESUMED father, but not necessarily THE father. Your denial of paternity is just a conclusory statement from you that you DENY being the father, but it does not mean that you are NOT the father. So now the court has a mess on it's hands. Because the child is under the age of 4, if you are found to be the biological father of the child, you will probably be adjudicated as the father and ordered to pay child support.
