Under NY law, a child conceived during the marriage is "presumed" to be a child of the marriage. That is a rebuttable presumption. Whether it is in your interests (or the child's) to attempt or concede to a rebuttal of that presumption, is among the topics you should discuss in confidence with an attorney. Good luck! All of Ms. Brown's responses to questions posted on are intended as general information based upon the facts stated in the question, and are provided for educational purposes of the public, not any specific individual, and her response to the question above is not legal advice and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

As the facts are presented here and using reasonable inferences, the divorced husband is not the presumed father, the boyfriend is. If that boyfriend refuses to acknowledge paternity, the asker must file a paternity petitions in family court to which the boyfriend can respond with a demand for a DNA test. A positive results results in an order of filiation and entry onto the child's birth certificate. A negative results means the asker has to find the actual father of the child.
