In Pennsylvania, there is a strong presumption that the husband of a mother is to be considered the father of his wife’s baby. Where paternity of the child is in question, the parties can proceed through the court with a Paternity suit to determine the paternity of a non-marital child. Once paternity is established, the father has a duty to support his child.
