- (1) Proof that a child was born during the time a person lived and cohabited with the child’s mother, or held the child’s mother out as that person’s spouse in a marriage, is prima facie evidence that the person is the parent of the child. This subsection does not exclude any other legal evidence tending to establish the parental relationship.
- (2) No provision of law prohibiting the disclosure of confidential communications between spouses in a marriage apply to prosecutions for criminal nonsupport. A spouse is a competent and compellable witness for or against either party.
