In Re Paternity of A.M.L.

Cite

161 Wis.2d 133, 467 N.W.2d 570 (WI Ct. App., 1991)

Summary

State’s motive and role in commencement of paternity action does not make it the sole party in interest. A child has a strong interest in a determination on its paternity, although it may be contrary to the best interest of a child that its paternity be established. Thus, commencement of paternity action by GAL was appropriate.
