Fran, Thank you for posting this information regarding children born of "non-paternal events". Did the the link someone provided to you give any other way to reference the source other than it was extracted by Rick Frizzle? I have seen this process hold true in court records, but I hadn't seen a statement of the law before. I just wondered if he found that in court records or some document passed by the assembly.

When the pregnancy of : an unmarried woman or the birth of a child to an unmarried woman was : brought to the attention of the court, a warrant was issued and the : woman brought into court. She was questioned under oath and asked to : name the child's father. The alleged father was then also brought into : court and required to post bond. If the woman refused to name the : father, she, her father, or some other interested party would post the : bond. In some cases the mother and the alleged father posted the bond : together. If the woman refused to post bond or name the father, she : could be sent to jail. : These records were extracted from state records by Rick Frizzell. : : : : : ------------------------------- : To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
