Paternal bond
A
paternal bond refers to the

paternity is presumed for the husband of the mother unless a separate action is taken; an unmarried man may establish paternity by signing a voluntary recognition of paternity or by taking court action. Paternity may also be established between a man and a younger person, commonly in
adoption, without the two being biologically related.
