Paternity and Filiation: Concepts of Paternity, Filiation, and Legitimacy - Family Code, Art. 163

In a certain case, Ana, a married woman, gave birth to a child named Sophia. Ana's husband, Mark, who is presumed to be the child's father, registered the child's birth and acknowledged Sophia as his own. A few years later, Ana discovered that Mark had been having an affair with another woman, Karen. Ana conducted a DNA test which confirmed that Mark is not the biological father of Sophia. Ana now wants to establish the paternity of Sophia and to legally recognize the biological father.

Based on the given scenario and the provisions of the Family Code, answer the following questions:

  1. Discuss the concept of paternity, filiation, and legitimacy under the Family Code.
