Question

I am married. A few months ago I girl I was dating for some time gave birth to a child. I has always been against the birth of this child and I was not to late to change the situation at that moment but she decided to keep the child and promised not to require anything from me. Now she wants me to be registered as child’s father and child support money. Can she somehow make me recognize the child as my child?

Answer

The law is on mother’s side in this case. As you do not want to recognize you paternity voluntarily your child’s mother is entitled to file a claim. According to Art. 49 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation in case a child is born from unmarried parents and in absence of parent’s joint application or father’s application, paternity shall be established by the court at request of any of the parents, child’s guardian or at request of a person providing the child with financial support or at child’s request upon reaching the legal age.

Herewith the court accepts any evidence proving paternity. A result of a genetic test is sufficient for settlement of such claims. In case you are proved to be child’s father you will have to support the child until he/she reaches the legal age (18 years) according to Art. 80, 81 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation.
