HB 2376 Relief from legal determination of paternity.

Introduced by: Johnny S. Joannou | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Relief from legal determination of paternity. Allows an individual to file a petition for relief from any legal determination of paternity. The court may set aside a determination of paternity if a scientifically reliable genetic test establishes the exclusion of the individual named as father in the legal determination. The court may order any appropriate relief, including setting aside (prospectively) an obligation to pay child support. Relief from paternity will not be granted if the individual named as father (i) acknowledged paternity knowing he was not the father, (ii) adopted the child or (iii) knew that the child was conceived through artificial insemination.
