Sec. 843.403  Proof of parentage.

    (a) A judicial determination of parentage conclusively establishes 
the paternity of a child.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this section, a child 
born to the wife of a married person is presumed to be the child of the 
wife's husband. This presumption may be rebutted only by clear and 
convincing evidence that the husband is not the father of the child.
    (c) When paternity is not established under paragraph (a) or (b) of 
this section, paternity is determined by a preponderance of the credible 
evidence as defined in Sec. 1201.56(c)(2) of this title.
