(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a person who, at the time of a child's birth, is the spouse of the person who gave birth to the child by assisted reproduction may not challenge the person's parentage of the child unless: (1) Not later than two years after the date of birth of the child, the person commences a proceeding to adjudicate the person's parentage of the child; and (2) the court finds the person did not consent to the assisted reproduction, before, on or after the date of birth of the child, or withdrew consent under section 46b-515.
