North Dakota Code § 14-05-21

Legitimacy of children - Adultery by wife
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When a divorce is granted for the adultery of the wife, the legitimacy of children begotten of 
her before the commission of the adultery is not affected, but the legitimacy of other children of 
the wife may be determined by the court upon the evidence in the case. In every such case, all 
children begotten before the commencement of the action are to be presumed legitimate until 
the contrary is shown.
