I am considering amendments to the existing legislation on presumption of paternity within the proposed General Scheme of the Children and Family Relationships Bill which I hope to finalise shortly. I understand that under the current presumptions, particular birth registration difficulties can arise for women who have children with a subsequent partner after the break-up of a marriage, but where they have not divorced and they do not have legal documentation of their separation by way of a deed of separation or a decree of judicial separation. I hope to propose a practical legislative response in consultation with my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection, who is dealing with certain consequences for the civil registration system.
