Shifting the burden of proof: the Peruvian experience

In Peru, the Law N° 28457 (08/01/2005) regulates the action to stablish the filiation. In this way, the presumed father is declared by sentence father of the child. The only way to contest the action - within next ten days since the notification of the action - is to submit to the DNA analysis.

filiation; fatherhood; identity; family law; DNA
