Overview: The fact that a second man had filed a paternity affidavit under Ind. Code Ann. § 16-37-2-2.1 did not foreclose a prosecutor's office from filing a paternity action against appellant under Ind. Code Ann. § 31-14-4-1. The statutes were not in conflict, and the presumption of paternity under the affidavit was properly rebutted by the paternity suit.
