Rebuttable presumption; child's biological father
Sec. 2. (a) If there is not a presumed biological father under
section 1 or 1.5 of this chapter, there is a rebuttable presumption that
a man is the child's biological father if, with the consent of the child's
mother, the man:
(1) receives the child into the man's home; and
(2) openly holds the child out as the man's biological child.
(b) The circumstances under this section do not establish the
man's paternity. A man's paternity may only be established as
described in IC 31-14-2-1.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.6. Amended by P.L.138-2001, SEC.7.
