Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that, even if paternity is established in a man other than the mother’s husband at the time of the child’s birth, the child would not become illegitimate as he was born during the marriage
• noting the mother’s husband at the time of a child’s birth is the “legal” father
• remanding for a hearing in a case where the putative father brought the paternity action, and directing that the best interests of the child be considered
• reviewing de novo an order dismissing a paternity action brought by putative biological father, based on child’s birth to mother and non-biological father during a legal marriage
