According toLouisiana law, “If the mother is married to someone other than the biological father when the child was conceived or has been divorced for less than 300 days at the time of birth, the husband/ex-husband shall be the presumed father, unless paternity is established for the biological father.”
Per this law, the only way Urker’s name will go on the birth certificate is if Anderson signs an affidavit that Urker is the father. If he doesn’t, and if Urker wants his name on the birth certificate, he will have to file a motion with the courts and the courts will make all three of them take a DNA test to determine the father, which has now been completed.
This past May, Blanchardopened up to PEOPLE about rekindling her romance with Urker. Whileserving time in prisonfor her role in the killing of her mother, Blanchard was in a relationship with Urker, who first started as a pen pal.
Urker proposed in 2018 and their relationship then ended years prior to her 2023 prison release. At the time of her release, Blanchard was married to Anderson, whom she married while she was in prison.
“Ken and I reconnected as friends. It wasn’t like, jump out of a marriage and then let me meet up with you, and boom, we’re in a relationship,” she said. “We had kept a friendship for the longest time. He was in a relationship. I was with Ryan, and so we were living different lives with respect to our partners, a ‘wish you the best’ type of thing.”
“So I am still living with my parents in Cut Off, which is an hour away from [Urker],” Blanchard said of her dad’s home in Louisiana.
“You know, who will she be with? As, you know, we’re going back and forth, and we’re doing kind of essentially co-parenting even though we are together.”
