Designating Male Parents at Birth

Authors

Jeffrey A. Parness, Northern Illinois University College of Law

Abstract

In focusing on legal designations of male parentage as of the time of birth, this Essay first reviews the methods by which such designations currently are made. The difficulties raised by contemporary methods then will be explored, together with suggested reforms involving laws that could promote earlier, more complete, and more accurate designations of male parentage as of the time of a child's birth.
