Description
The burden of proof in a paternity proceeding rests upon the petitioner, who must establish paternity by "clear and convincing'
evidence, evidence which is 'entirely satisfactory' and creates a genuine belief that respondent is the father of the child".
(Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. v Philip De G., 59 N.Y.2d 137, 141-142.) The evidence in this case does not meet that standard. Where there is proof in the record that a man other than
the respondent has had intercourse with the petitioner during the critical time period, the evidence is insufficient as a
matter of law (Matter of Department of Social Servs. v Alan K., 69 A.D.2d 861; Phillips v Broadwell, 63 A.D.2d 840; Matter
of Ramos v Dorn, 49 A.D.2d 522).
