Under California law the issue as to who the “father” of Kim’s baby may prove to be an interesting one.
Under California law, Family Code s7611, “a man is presumed to the natural father of a child if…(a) He and the child’s nautral mother are or have been maried to eachother and the child is born during the marriage, or within 300 days after the marriage is terminated..”
In Kim’s situation of a pending divorce and a soon to be baby this may prove to cause some issues in the love and litigation triangle she has create with Kris Humpries and Kanye West. Although, Kim has been openly claiming that Kanye is the father of her unborn child her marriage to Kris can cause legal issues once the child is born.
Under this law Kris could legally lay claim to the baby and the burden would be placed upon Kim to prove that Kanye is the father of her child, likely through the use of a DNA test which wouldn’t be a hard hurdle to pass. Based on the latest reports that Kris is attempting to have their 72-day marraige annuled instead of a divorce as Kim has been seeking it is unlikely that he would attempt to obtain a legal claim to her unborn child.
