| | The court shall apply the following provisions to adjudicate | the parentage of a child. |
|
| | 1.__Parentage disproved.__The parentage of a child having a | presumed parent, acknowledged father or adjudicated parent may be | disproved only by admissible results of genetic testing excluding | that man as the father of the child or identifying another man as | the father of the child. |
|
| | 2.__Identified father adjudicated as father.__Unless the | results of genetic testing are admitted to rebut other results of | genetic testing, a man identified as the father of a child under | section 1905 must be adjudicated the father of the child. |
|
| | 3.__Genetic testing not conclusive.__If the court finds that | genetic testing under section 1905 neither identifies nor | excludes a man as the father of a child, the court may not | dismiss the proceeding. In that event, the results of genetic | testing, and other evidence, are admissible to adjudicate the | issue of parentage. |
|
| | 4.__Excluded man adjudicated as not father.__Unless the | results of genetic testing are admitted to rebut other results of | genetic testing, a man excluded as the father of a child by | genetic testing must be adjudicated not to be the parent of the | child. |
|
| | 5.__Inadmissible evidence.__Testimony relating to sexual | relations or possible sexual relations of the mother at a time | other than the probable time of conception of the child is | inadmissible in evidence. |

However, if test results are | admissible, those results control unless other test results | create a conflict rebutting the admitted results. |
|
| | Paragraph (3) is included to ensure that the fact a genetic | test does not reach the 99% level decreed in § 505 will not be | perceived as an indicator of an exclusion of paternity. Although | test results that do not reach that level do not create a |
