Montana ignoring rights of fathers by requiring husband's name on birth certificates
Article here. Excerpt:
'I always thought that a birth certificate was the most important document you could have until finding out about Montana law “MCA 40-6-105,” which states, “If the mother was married at the time of conception or birth or between conception and birth, the name of the husband must be entered on the certificate as the father of the child.“
What if the husband left years earlier? What if the husband was incarcerated? What if the husband was out of country? What if the wife cheated? Etc.
Montana does not allow a DNA test to prove he is the biological father of his own child and have his name on the birth certificate, the state only accepts the statement from that absent husband. They take the word of a man, who by the way could say anything, over scientific DNA, but yet that same DNA can arrest, prosecute and convict someone of a crime. This violates all father’s rights.'

Gosh, we have three articles
Gosh, we have three articles right in a row posted here at MANN, that are all impacted by the laws that mandate the husband of a mother is legally assigned as the father to all children during the marriage. This law really needs to get tossed out. Fathers and children deserve better and birth certificates should be factual not fantasy.
