Creates an exemption to the presumption that a child born in wedlock is the child of the birth parent's legal spouse; permits certain actions to be.

New York A05903 amends the domestic relations law, family court act, and public health law to create an exemption to the presumption that a child born in wedlock is the child of the birth parent's legal spouse. It allows a birth parent to file an affidavit to declare that the child is not the legitimate child of the birth parent's legal spouse, thereby exempting the child from the presumption of legitimacy. The bill also permits certain actions to be taken by the birth parent without notice to the birth parent's legal spouse, such as adoption proceedings and revocation of adoption consent.
