Can I have an affidavit of parentage be valid if I married??
After my ex husband and I divorced I found out I was pregnant with my now husbands baby but due to the state I was in legally my ex husband is the legal father because I was not divorced for more than a year before getting pregnant
I have spoken to legal and was informed that doing an Affidavit of parentage would be the quickest way to get my ex husband off the birth certificate and to have my husband (her bio dad) added to it. But at that time him and I were not married and now that we are I don’t know if the courts will accept it?
If not the judge may order a DNA test which can take months according to the legal person I talked to hence the affidavit because it skips over the DNA testing and essentially legally proclaims my husband has her father.
Has anyone done anything like this where they weren’t married then did marry and the courts still accepted the papers?? I know my ex husband WILL NOT fight it and try to say he is her father because I hadn’t seen him in nearly a year before getting pregnant and since then he has blocked me on everything so we don’t even have any form of communication which I’m sure will also help with the court stuff (if he even shows - didn’t show to our divorce hearing)
