Section YAE.06.09 — Effect Of Marriage By Biological Mother And Putative Father.

In any case where the alleged father and biological mother of any child born out of wedlock shall lawfully marry, such child shall be considered the biological child of the mother and father, unless the parental rights of either parent were terminated prior to the marriage. This presumption will only be effective if the parties complete and file with the WI Department of Vital Records an Acknowledgment of Marital Child and the husband's name is added to the official birth record. If the birth record does not contain the name of the father, a paternity action may be brought forward to the Tribal Court.
