"If the mother was divorced within 10 months prior to the child’s birth, the child is considered a child of that marriage" Michigan Hospital Paternity Acknowledgement Guide

Establishing paternity in at least 90 percent of non-marital births allows Michigan to earn 100 percent of incentive money for this factor and avoid federal penalties.

So much easier to do that when you don't even have to find the real father.

Holy crap these laws are insane

(g) Notice that signing the acknowledgment waives the following:

(i) Blood or genetic tests to determine if the man is the biological father of the child.

(ii) Any right to an attorney, including the prosecuting attorney or an attorney appointed by the court in the case of indigency, to represent either party in a court action to determine if the man is the biological father of the child.

(iii) A trial to determine if the man is the biological father of the child

And this

20. Is there a fee for the DNA genetic test?

Answer – Yes, through the Prosecuting Attorney’s (PA’s) office, the DNA test is $21.90 per person tested (father, mother and baby) and a $5 per person sample collection fee.

If the alleged father is not excluded (meaning he is the father), then the father is usually court ordered to repay the state for the genetic test(s). A court will determine who pays for the genetic testing and fees as part of the child support order. Parents may go to a laboratory (rather than the PA office) to get a DNA test done, but the genetic testing cost(s) may be higher and the test results may not be admissible in a court proceeding

Michigan's family court laws scare the crap outta me. Glad I don't live there. For numerous reasons.

thats one month longer than it takes for a baby to form in the uterus.

It is even worse in Poland — child is considered a child of marriage if born within 12 months since divorce.

They are aware that it only takes 9 months to go from impregnation to childbirth, right? Is this not a hospital?
