What is acknowledgment of paternity?
I signed an Acknowledgment of Parentage form. Is there a way to undo this?
Answer
Court Help has an explanation of "Acknowledgment of Paternity." Family Legal Care has a brief paragraph on vacating an Acknowledgment of Parentage form. There is no standard form available to vacate an "Acknowledgment of Paternity." The linked laws explain the procedure that requires filing a motion in Family Court.
