If your girlfriend is married then her husband is the presumed legal father of any child born to her during their marriage. You can sign an acknowledgment of paternity but her husband would need to sign the denial of paternity portion of the document for it to be valid. However, if your girlfriend files for divorce then in the divorce the Court can make a finding that the child was not a child of the marriage and confirm your paternity of the child.
