Q: In New York State, if an unmarried non biological father signs a childs AOP in the hospital, can biological father still be held responsible for child support? With a paternity test?
A: David's Answer: Yes - generally one waives a DNA test if one signs the acknowledgment. Under such circumstances, the putative father would have up to 60 days to move to vacate the acknowledgment. Schedule a consult with a Family Law attorney in your area. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
