What is a Putative Father and a Putative Father Registry?

If you’re wondering “What is a putative father registry?” (or just what is a putative father generally), we’re here to clear that up for you.

But in the legal world this isn’t enough, a father’s paternity must be legally recognized by the fact that the father was married to the child’s mother when the child was conceived or born, or, if they were not married, then proven by legally recognized evidence, such as a DNA test.
