Re: Cant be found

Your request is almost unintelligible but I believe that you information about a divorce.

When a child is born within a marriage that child is legally assumed to be a product of that marriage. This assumption is very difficult to disturb. In fact it often cannot be disturbed unless the natural father 1) can be identified, 2) accepts paternity, 3) is in better circumstances to provide for the child.

The state is loathe to allow potential harm a child simply because the parental relationship collapses.

You need to speak with an attorney. Contact social service agencies in your locality to seek help in finding representation.

Regards,

Roger
