Abstract

Abstract: The paternity challenge in Ecuador is a legal process by which the filiation of a minor to his or her alleged father is questioned. This challenge is based on the existence of a causal link between the act of paternity and situations where the lack of biological or legal link has been proven. One of the foundations that supports the challenge of paternity in Ecuador is the nullity of the act, that is, the invalidity of the recognition of paternity when there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the lack of genetic or legal relationship, in addition to deception on the part of the mother. In these cases, the damage to the minor is considerable, since the uncertainty about their true identity can affect their emotional and psychological development. The right to identity is a fundamental aspect in the life of any person, and paternity challenges seek to guarantee this right to minors in situations where the lack of biological or legal link with the alleged father has been proven.
