the best interests of the child, and administrative convenience. There may also be interests of other children in the family at stake. While some courts find the notion constitutional that the putative father should not be permitted to disrupt the integrity of the family under any circumstances, we find this view narrow under our constitution and inconsistent with our case law dealing with parental rights. We have already recognized the significance of the parent-child relationship in the context of due process. See In re A.M.H., 516 N.W.2d at 870. It is also significant that by granting putative fathers standing to challenge paternity despite the mother’s marital status, we recognize the truth and discourage deceit. See In re Richard W., 212 A.D.2d 89, 629 N.Y.S.2d 512, 514 (1995) (<HOLDING>). Further, the decline of the stigma of
holding presumption of paternity that applies to intact family prevented an order by the court for a blood test or the use of privately obtained blood test to rebut the presumption of legitimacy holding that the best interest of the child standard should be used in deciding whether to grant a paternity petition holding that  best interest of the child standard should be used in deciding whether to grant a paternity petition recognizing presumption recognizing if truth about paternity can be discovered and equity does not demand otherwise presumption of legitimacy should not be used to perpetuate a falsehood
