    Disputing Paternity of a Child Born in Marriage
    My question involves paternity law for the State of: California

    Hello All,

    I recently found out that I am not the biological father of an 11 month old child I had during my current marriage. At this point I do not know what steps to take next because I have never dealt with a situation like this before. My name is on the child's birth certificate but obviously since a DNA test has proven that I am not the biological father can I dispute paternity at this point?

    I suppose you could. Do you not have feelings for the child? (just asking because I can't imagine loving a child for 11 months, and then just giving him/her up)

    Is your current wife actually the mother of the child, or is someone else?

    What does SHE think about it?

    Was the DNA test court ordered?

    Assuming this is your spouse's child, are you planning to divorce or remain married?
