Section 26-17-607 Action to disprove parentage when there is a presumed father. (a) Except
as otherwise provided in subsection (b), a presumed father may bring an action to disprove
paternity at any time. If the presumed father persists in his status as the legal father of
a child, neither the mother nor any other individual may maintain an action to disprove paternity.
(b) A presumption of paternity under this section may be rebutted in an appropriate action
only by clear and convincing evidence. In the event two or more conflicting presumptions arise,
that which is founded upon the weightier considerations of public policy and logic, as evidenced
by the facts, shall control. The presumption of paternity is rebutted by a court decree establishing
paternity of the child by another man. (Act 2008-376, p. 666, §2.)...

Section 26-17-608 Estoppel to deny paternity. (a) In a proceeding to adjudicate the parentage
of a child having a presumed father or to challenge the paternity of a child having an acknowledged
father, the court may deny a complaint seeking to disprove paternity if the court determines
that: (1) the conduct of the mother or the presumed or acknowledged father estops that party
from denying parentage; and (2) it would be inequitable to disprove the father-child relationship
between the child and the presumed or acknowledged father. (b) When determining whether to
deny the complaint, the court shall consider the following factors: (1) the length of time
between the proceeding to adjudicate parentage and the time that the presumed or acknowledged
father was placed on notice that he might not be the genetic father; (2) the length of time
during which the presumed or acknowledged father has assumed the role of father of the child;
(3) the facts surrounding the presumed or acknowledged...

Section 26-17-631 Rules for adjudication of paternity. The court shall apply the following
rules to adjudicate the paternity of a child: (1) The paternity of a child having a presumed,
acknowledged, or adjudicated father may be disproved only by admissible results of genetic
testing excluding that man as the father of the child or identifying another man as the father
of the child. (2) Unless the results of genetic testing are admitted to rebut other results
of genetic testing, a man identified as the father of a child under Section 26-17-505 must
be adjudicated the father of the child. (3) If the court finds that genetic testing under
Section 26-17-505 neither identifies nor excludes a man as the father of a child, the results
of genetic testing, and other evidence, are admissible to adjudicate the issue of paternity.
(4) Unless the results of genetic testing are admitted to rebut other results of genetic testing,
a man excluded as the father of a child by genetic testing must be...
