INSUFICIENCIA DE LA PRUEBA BIOLÓGICA DE PATERNIDAD PARA DESVIRTUAR LA PRESUNCIÓN DE FILIACIÓN MATRIMONIAL EN SEDE GUBERNATIVA A LOS EFECTOS DE LA INSCRIPCIÓN. (COMENTARIO DE LA RESOLUCIÓN DE LA DIRECCIÓN GENERAL DE LOS REGISTROS Y DEL NOTARIADO DE 23 DE MAYO DE 2007).

Abstract

Presumption of matrimonial paternity when the woman is married and the child is born between the time of the marriage and 300 days after legal or de facto separation is an automatic consequence of the law. This presumption is not destroyed when evidence is furnished of a biological investigation of paternity showing that the husband is not the father of the child. Such evidence could be sufficient in a judicial procedure for the procedural guarantees that said channel provides, inter alia, the guarantees related with the husband's right of defence, but it would not be sufficient in the channel of the government proceeding.
