Truth and Consequences: Part I. Disestablishing the Paternity of Non-Marital Children

In some states, there are detailed procedures for challenging paternity acknowledgments; in other states, there is little or no statutory guidance in this area. Some states have statutory and case law to guide the process of paternity disestablishment when paternity has been adjudicated or presumed, while others offer little guidance. This monograph reviews the statutory and case law in this area and offers recommendations for bringing greater fairness and clarity to the process. www.CLASP.org.
