Abstract
The number of illegitimate children born each year in the United States continues to increase, and with this increase there has been a corresponding rise in the number of judicial decisions regarding the rights of unwed fathers. This Comment compares the United States Supreme Court's four major pronouncements regarding the rights of unwed fathers with Utah Supreme Court decisions in this area. The Comment also addresses some of the problems evinced by these decisions and concludes that Utah should adopt the Uniform Parentage Act 3 to alleviate difficulties with present statutory provisions.
