Q: Once my husband gets an DNA can we sign his rights away?
Back in 2016 my husband and I split for 3 monthso and while that time he MAY have gotten this women pregnant. Her boyfriend signed the birth certificate already. 1.5 years later I was getting bullied by her and her two friends saying this child is my husbands. She wants to go after him for child support. Can she?
A: She can try. Depending upon what her boyfriend signed and the lapse of time and whether they lived together and the boyfriend held the child out as his own are all facts that must be explored to determine whether she would be successful or not. As to signing his rights away, there is no such provision to do that short of an adoption.
