My question involves paternity law for the State of: California
Hi, we are still married as of now but I really don't know how long it could last . Here is the story, we got one son together, and he was born on Jan 2010. The sad thing is, my wife cheated me and he was born out of the wedlock, meaning I am not his biological father.....On his birth certificate, we didn't put down my name since I thought that it's not a wise thing to do even tho I love him a lot. Recently, my wife keep telling my to sign the acknowledgement of Paternity for her, so she could amend his birth certificate and my name could be added. So, I just want your opinion on this. I already asked around, meaning my friends, and they told me that I should not, because if I did, and my marriage came all down to South to the breaking point of divorce, she could bite me back with her child support. If my name is not in his birth certificate, then I'm not legally responsible for this. Isn't it right ? Please, give me some advice.....Thanks
