Cite as 15 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 5, R. 3.3.4
Rescission of acknowledgement of paternity: In those cases where the mother
was not married at the time of either conception or birth, or at any time between
conception and birth, and the mother and natural father acknowledge such
paternity by affidavit, either the mother or the acknowledged father may rescind
the acknowledgement within the earlier of one year of the date of the signature on
the Acknowledgement of Paternity affidavit or the date of a judicial proceeding
relating to the child, including a proceeding to establish a support order, in which
the signatory is a party. This rescission rule also applies in cases where the
mother and father married after the birth of the child and legitimized the child by
affidavit. This rescission rule does not apply to a legitimation affidavit in cases
where the mother and father were married prior to the birth of the child but the
fact was not listed on the certificate of live birth.
