Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are still married, but the Brooklyn Nets forward is not the “presumed father” of Kim and Kanye West’s baby.

A source at the Huffington Post, however, says Kardashian and West don’t need to worry. "California law is clear that when a child is born to a married couple the presumption of fatherhood is in favor of the husband, but that assumes they are living together, cohabitating in legal terms," attorney and founder of Men's Family Law, David T. Pisarra told HuffPo.
He added, "Since Kim and Kris are separated, the presumption of Kris as the father would not apply. I imagine that when baby Kimye is born, Kim will name Kanye as the father and he will sign a Declaration of Paternity just like thousands of other unmarried couples do to protect the rights of the baby to have both loving parents in his/her life forever."

I live in the state of MN. In MN, the presumed father is legally the father of a child conceived within 9 months before a divorce or is presumed if the couple is still married. This did happen to my daughter, so she had to make contact with her husband/ex-husband and he needed to sign paternity papers, exempting him as the father on all legal do***ents. In some cases, non-biological fathers end up paying child support due to legal ramifications. What a messed up world we live in.
