re: Wife having a child while married that isn't yours

There was a PGA golfer that had this issue a few years back. As I recall, he and his wife divorced and the biological father fessed up and got custody.

Art. 186. Presumption if child is born after divorce or after death of husband; effect of disavowal
If a child is born within three hundred days from the day of the termination of a marriage and his mother has married again before his birth, the first husband is presumed to be the father.
If the first husband, or his successor, obtains a judgment of disavowal of paternity of the child, the second husband is presumed to be the father. The second husband, or his successor, may disavow paternity if he institutes a disavowal action within a peremptive period of one year from the day that the judgment of disavowal obtained by the first husband is final and definitive.
Amended by Acts 1976, No. 430, §1; Acts 2005, No. 192, §1, eff. June 29, 2005.

Only if he signs the birth certificate.

A women can get child support from the person listed on the birth certificate (if married at the time of birth) and the biological father if she is divorced....

I heard it and saw it happen in court while I was waiting my turn....

Not sure what the whole thread is trying to say or prove. Along with pleadings to modify specifics of custody, a paternity test will overturn financial liability from a previously signed birth certificate if proven the child is from another man. If the husband suspects a wife's former lover, he may subpoena the man to a paternity test. Upon proving who the father is, financial liability for the child's future becomes the biological father's and mother's.

The scenario the poster above quotes would be possible IF the non-paternal related man wants to retain visitation and some part custody of the child. In this way, both men would be responsible for support.

There are some states that a step parent will pay support if custodial parents can't afford but Louisiana is not one. Another way a step parent can be liable is if he has taken on the role as a child's guardian and has supported the child in the past. This would not be fair to a child if a man has taken the role of his father...then decides to just quit. Bottom line is a man (in the long run) will not have to pay child support for a child that is not his if his wife suddenly becomes pregnant when married and he can show it isn't his... signed certificate or not... it's just a matter or proving the wife slept with another man in an adulterous condition by having a test ordered. Now if the cuck attempts to reconcile with his wife, knowing she had an affair and got knocked up, either while she is pregnant or after the baby is born, then things can get a little sticky.

It’s because he waited too long to disavow.

One of my coworkers is swearing up and down that if your wife gets pregnant while the two of you are married and has the baby while the two of you are married, that you are still legally considered the father and are still responsible for that child (in Louisiana) even if you are not the biological father.

He could be right. It is that way in many parts of the country. This is why there's a whole organization built around fighting for men's rights in these types of situations. Judges are much more likely to rule in favor of the child's best interests, no matter if the man gets screwed and is forced to raise a child that's not his.

Again, I don't know about Louisiana law, though.
