Not in Utah when the couple was never legally married. That’s where Christine filed.

She was smart to file then because now (legally) she has identified kody as the father, so he will be responsible.

This is actually not true.

This is why paternity had to be established before Christine’s child support/custody case could proceed. Being on the birth certificate or not, they were never legally married.

 

Actually paternity only has to be determined if the father refuses to acknowledge the child as his own. If there's no contesting it, the birth certificate can stand.

Spoiler

Not in Utah for a couple who were never legally married. That’s the catch, no legal marriage.

But again, if the father is not denying paternity there is no need for automatic testing. (Plus, no need for paying $$ for testing).

Could you please find and quote the law you are referring to? I find this so intriguing.

Sticking this in a spoiler because this doesn’t really belong here.

I don’t recall saying anything about testing. If Kody signed the Voluntary Declaration of Paternity, there would be no need to test and then the child support case would proceed. If he challenged it then testing would be ordered. I’d assume he acknowledged paternity. 🤷🏼‍♀️

When I wrote 'if the father does not deny paternity, the courts don't need (genetic) testing'*, you responded, 'Not in Utah. You have to be legally married, they're not married."*

So I took that to mean because they weren't married they have to get tested automatically, to go to court.

*I'm paraphrasing
