My boyfriend who we'll call Jason (and father of my child) was previously in a relationship with a woman who we'll call Margaret. A few months into their relationship, Margaret got pregnant. Jason assumed the baby was his and the two get married after their baby was born. When the baby, Dylan, was 3, they got divorced. In the divorce decree, it sys "both parties agree and the court finds that they are the biological parents of Dylan".
Jason is not on the birth certificate as Dylan's father. Recent discoveries have lead Jason to wonder if he really is the biological father of Dylan. Since the court did find him as the biological parent, does he have a right to a DNA test? If the DNA test did come back that he isn't the father, could it be used to stop child support payments, or because he was already deemed the father, would it not matter? Is there a deadline for this type of thing? We live in Maine if that makesa difference.
