What happens if the mother was married to another man at the time the child was born?
A. The mother’s husband at the time of the child’s birth is the legal father of the child unless the court decides to name a different man based on the evidence. The evidence will usually include court testimony by the mother, by her husband at the time of the child’s birth, and by the man who is supposed to be the real father. The evidence will also usually include DNA tests.
