40-11A-510. Identical brothers.
A. The district court may order genetic testing of a brother of a man identified as the father of a child if the man is commonly believed to have an identical brother and evidence suggests that the brother may be the genetic father of the child.
B. If each brother satisfies the requirements as the identified father of the child pursuant to Section 5-505 of the New Mexico Uniform Parentage Act without consideration of another identical brother being identified as the father of the child, the district court may rely on nongenetic evidence to adjudicate which brother is the father of the child.
