What does court require to prove child is not the husband's child?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
The court will require a DNA test of the child and the putative father. You will have to ask for a court order for the testing to be done. The wife will not be able to refuse that. If you want to make sure that you don't pay child support, ask the court to hold off on a final decree until the baby is born and the DNA tests are performed. I suppose it is possible that the court could grant the divorce and keep jurisdiction over the case until the child is born.

Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Terry A. Buchanan
In California, a debt incurred after date of marriage is a community property obligation. That principal would be strong in your case as the funds from the loan went to purchase a vehicle for husband #2 after your marriage to husband #2.? An important fact would be the terms of your divorce judgment with husband #1 - husband #1 appears to be 50% liable for the first deed of trust (mortgage) and husband #2 would be?50% liable for the equity line. Husband #2's liability may well be 100% if he is awarded the truck that the equity funds were used to purchase.
