I don't want to dispute you but i read the article and got a different meaning.
The father of record (birth certificate) is the married twin, the twin that has been acting as a parent is not on the birth certificate, which is causing all the problems.
Quote:
One of the twins, who cannot be named for legal reasons, went to court last summer in the hope of forcing the mother to grant him access to the child. Although his name is not on the birth certificate, he claims he is the only father the boy has known, cared for him every other weekend, provided financial support and was even known to him as 'papa'.

So if both twins were considered joint fathers, the one on the birth certificate would be liable for child support if she chose to ask for it.

She is wrong to deprive the child of a father that wants to be in his life.
