Csa And A Parent Denying Parentage

[Ric.ror]

Here’s a scenario- A&B are married. A has an affair with C and a baby results. The baby is given B’s surname and he is named on the birth certificate. One year on C takes a DNA - he’s the father. A goes to CSA to claim money from C for the child. He refuses to pay saying (despite private DNA) he is not the father.
Can A claim even though B is on the birth certificate?

[bednobs]

yes

[Peter Pedant]

yes - but it looks as tho you ( or the claimant ) will have to go to court. Paternity in this case is a legal thingy

there is ALOT on the internet on this - make sure it is British - and remember that the child's interests are paramount
