Paternity
questions & answers
Question: my son's girlfriend had a baby, my son signed the birth certificate. now this other guy wants a paternity test to see if it's his. can he do this? does he have any rights even though my son signed the birth certificate?
Answer: According to A.R.S. § 25-814 a man is presumed to be the father of the child if the birth certificate is signed by both the mother and the father out of wedlock. A presumption of paternity means that unless there is evidence presented to the contrary, the court will recognize the paternity of the biological father.
