Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 406

If the court finds that the conclusions of all the experts, as disclosed by the evidence

based upon the tests, are that the alleged father is not the father of the child, the question

of paternity shall be resolved accordingly. If the court finds that the statistical probability

of paternity equals or exceeds ninety -nine percent (99%), as calculated by the experts

qualified as examiners of genetic markers, and that the paternity index, as calculated by

the experts qualified as examiners of genetic markers, is one hundred (100) to one (1) or

greater, there is a rebuttable presumption, affecting the burden of proof, of paternity. This

presumption shall only be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence. If the

presumption is not rebutted, the court may enter a summary judgment of paternity,

pursuant to Rule 56 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
