\"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world\" Ann Frank What a great quote and that is what I\'m doing taking an active role to create a positive change! THE PATERNITY ACT OF 205 Bring DADDY\'S back into their childrens lives!!!! according to the paternity act of 205 if a woman is married when she has a baby then her husband is the father even if they are seperated and not living together for more than 3 years. That is what is happening to my brother and his son brandon.They split up she took his son and said she is married therfor my brother can\'t get a DNA test and see his son or pay support for him.There are many men who are in the same situation.Ihave written all my elected officials and intend to send them this petition.

My cousin is going thru this exact thing right now. its horrible that the law keeps him from his own kid just because of a piece of paper. kids need their dads!

This law is completely outdated. A man should have every right to know if a child is his and be allowed to be a father regardless of her marital status. Fix this now.
