I swear or affirm that when this child was born or within 300 days of the child's birth, I was not married.
I swear or affirm that when this child was born or conceived, I was married to someone other than the father of this child.

was married to unless the court has determined that the man to whom I was married is not the child's father.

the acknowledgement is properly filed with the child's birth certificate. I have read and understand the information on both sides of
this form, including the information on the process for rescinding (canceling) this acknowledgement of paternity. I understand the
rights and responsibilities that result when both parents sign this form. I hereby swear or affirm under the penalties of perjury that
