• W3121360972 abstract "Today all states have paternity rules that protect a man’s intent to assume the role of father. All states have a version of the marital presumption and, for nonmarital children, all states allow the mother and the intended father to establish paternity by signing and filing a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity (VAP). However, the law governing paternity disestablishment is much less protective of the legal paternity of men who may not be biological fathers, particularly where the father and mother are not married but instead have executed a VAP. The disparate treatment of rights and duties in families based on the marital status of the parents is very old in Anglo-American culture and ex-pressed a fundamental class divide. Marital parents were respectable, and parentage rules upheld their choices about family formation, both in the sense that they precluded outsiders from challenging those choices (the principle of family privacy) and in that they held the adults to the consequences of those choices if they later disagreed about who should be recognized as a child’s legal parent. On the other hand, childbearing outside marriage traditionally was disreputable, and parents in those cases were not accorded the same respect. However, today the link between marriage and traditional class distinctions is breaking down. Many more children are born outside marriage today than in the relatively recent past. Nonmarital childbearing, which used to be confined largely to the very poor, is becoming the norm for much of the middle class as well. In contrast, well-educated upper-middle and middle-class women rarely bear children out-side marriage. These class distinctions are also associated with racial and ethnic distinctions. In the United States, nonmarital families are much less stable than marital families and so are more likely to experience the effects of biology-based paternity disestablishment rules than families with married parents. The persistence of discrimination against nonmarital families in the law of parentage is inherently problematic, but the harm goes beyond the symbolic. Biology-based parentage rules make children’s legal paternity vulnerable, endangering children in two ways. First, in individual cases, caring, committed relationships between children and their legal fathers can be disrupted more easily. Second, to the extent that legal paternity is vulnerable to challenges, families in general are less stable, creating additional risks to children. This Article first examines the extent to which current parentage law continues to vary with the parents’ marital status and how parentage law affects family stability. It shows that discrimination in paternity law based on the parents’ marital status and, when paternity is challenged, on the gender of the parent, is still widespread in the United States. The Article then analyzes the impact of the marital status and gender-based differences on children, arguing that they systematically disadvantage nonmarital children. The Article concludes with recommended legislative changes to eliminate marital-status and gender-based rules in ways that will protect the relation-ships of individual children and their legal fathers and make legal paternity determinations more secure generally." @default.
