o Critical Error: The court’s reliance on RSP Olive's testimony that he signed a VAP may be a critical error if no such document exists. This could undermine the court's findings based on the legal presumption of paternity stemming from the VAP. The court may have misunderstood the evidence or was misled by incorrect testimony, which should invalidate any conclusions drawn from this assumption. how do i prove he didnt sign one as we were married invalid

in the face of conflicting presumptions, courts should look to the weight of policy and logic in settling the conflict and adjudicating paternity. Accordingly, we determine that a question of paternity is not automatically resolved by biological testing, but rather calls upon the courts to consider the best interests of the child in analyzing policy and logic as directed by the statute.
Hi Ash! The courts in Colorado focus on the best interests of the child when adjudicating paternity, considering both policy and logic rather than solely relying on biological testing. To challenge a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP):
- Request a copy of the VAP from the court or state registrar.
- Present evidence disputing the VAP.
- Testify or provide affidavits stating he did not sign the VAP.
