Reduces the time line for the presumption of paternity from 300 days to 90 days after marriage termination.
Louisiana HB318 amends Civil Code Article 185 to reduce the time line for the presumption of paternity. Currently, the husband of the mother is presumed to be the father of a child born during the marriage or within 300 days from the date of the termination of the marriage. The proposed law changes this time line to 90 days from the date of the termination of the marriage. This change affects the legal presumption of parentage in cases involving married couples.
