Abstract

Claims for disestablishing paternity of marital children and compensation can arise when misattributed paternity is discovered. Based on the study of Spanish and US case law, an analysis is made of the situations when civil liability is appropriately attributed to the mother. The suitability of promoting a greater stability in the father-child relationship is then assessed from the perspective of the best interests of the child. It is concluded that it is necessary to provide better protection for the bond between the putative father and child against non-paternity claims, despite the lack of biological link, when the emotional ties are strong.
