Family Law Attorney, Family Law and  Paternity Hearings

Is there a statute of limitations that limits the time a person has to bring a suit to adjudicate parentage?

A suit to adjudicate the parentage of a child having no presumed, acknowledged or adjudicated father may be brought at any time.  A man is a presumed father if his name appears on the child’s birth certificate, was married to the child’s mother when the child was born, promised in a record to support the child as his own or resided in the same household as the child during the child’s first two years of life and represented to others that the child was his. An acknowledged father is one who has executed an acknowledgment of paternity and an adjudicated father if a court has entered an order finding him to be the child’s father.
