Keith Andrews v. Jarred Brandon Kinnett, et al.
Paid petition · Supreme Court of Louisiana, No. 2023-CJ-00060 · judgment June 27, 2023

Questions presented
-
Does a biological father of the child of a married woman have a right to notice of his paternity before any prescription or peremption can extinguish his right to avow paternity?
-
Where the state opens the door to the biological father to petition for filiation of a child born of a married woman, and that father seizes the opportunity to exercise his parental duties and rights at the first opportunity, does the biological father become vested in a fundamental right to parent his child?
-
Should a married woman’s silence as to the suspected true paternity of her baby constitute bad faith deception of the biological father?
