See my husband and I were going to get a divorce. When my husband and I got back togehter after 2 weeks of filing for divorce we got back together. Then I found out I was pregnant. There is a slim chance that my son is my husbands. My son is almost 4 years old and my husband has always been daddy. So please don't judge me you don't know the whole situation. The other man has always known he might be and has not done anything to persue it. So I just want to know if you can petition a married woman for a paternity test?

if your husband is on the birth certificate as the father then the only way is if this other man can get a judge to go along with itand that would be hard to do as he would have to prove you and he where intimate at some point and its a he said she said case which isnt enough to overrule yours and your husbands right as a parent. i hope that your husband loves this child and its never known to this child that he is any other persons child. not to mention if this man does try and force his way and by a stroke of luck does get it having some suspicion this child was his he would be obligated for the past four years of child suport to recover the cost your husband coverd... good luck, mistakes happen and the real test of character is what you do after the mistake.

Well, the sad truth is that yes, he can petition the courts for paternal rights to his child - if DNA tests establish that he is in fact the father. However, he would most likely have to pay for those tests and they can be expensive!
If you've been demanding child support - or suddenly start, then he has a legal right to see his child. Custody agreements can and do get worked out all the time. Chances are that he will only get visitation, since you've had sole custody for the child's entire life, and he's shown very little if any interest. I would strongly recommend finding a GOOD custody attorney and discuss all of the facets & options of the potential case with him or her.

YES! He can, this is how it works....When you give birth and are NOT married you get a decleration of paternity signed this paper is not able to be opposed after a two year period. This was not the case for you so the other man can sue for the child to be tested.

Yes, paternity can be petitioned in most states if not all by now. In Texas more men are petitioning for paternity to get away from paying support payment SanAntonio

If she replaced into nevertheless unmarried i must be able to regulate the very undeniable actuality that he replaced into giving funds to her for the youngster, see you later as he nevertheless had get entry to to the youngster. regardless of the very undeniable actuality that it wasn't his toddler biologically, he grew up being the youngster's father and a toddler needs 2 mom and father to help help it. If he did no longer have get entry to to the youngster as a father ought to yet remains made to pay help then i must be putting my foot down pretty quickly in this association. i'm no longer particular the guidelines that the courts ought to stick with if he nevertheless needed get entry to to the youngster yet is of the same opinion that his help funds might want to be a lot less because then there might want to be 3 mom and father paying into the youngster help. i'm no longer particular if an adopting or step figure that has chop up with the bio mom can nevertheless see the youngster without contributing something in the route of the youngster's welfare. So in this difficulty i ought to wish my husband ought to artwork out something which includes her to both pay no longer something or pay a significantly smaller volume of kid help yet nevertheless be able to make certain the youngster as he replaced into. If no longer i wish the courts ought to have some type of reasoning and expertise and observe a similar ingredient yet who knows. And actual if i replaced into under no circumstances able to have a toddler by way of this i imagine it ought to placed a rigidity on the courting and our marriage ought to cave in ultimately. EDIT: If he's purely being forced to pay and he has no pastime in seeing the youngster in any respect then you fairly guess I`d be doing each and every thing i ought to to eliminate this. and that i`m no longer particular if DNA checks are allowed or aren`t, I wouldn`t understand why no longer and it type of feels somewhat unusual no longer to be.
