The rights of parties to a civil union, with respect to a child of whom either party becomes the parent during the term of the civil union, shall be the same as the rights (including presumptions of parentage) of married spouses with respect to a child of whom either spouse becomes the parent during the marriage. Children of void or voidable civil unions shall be deemed to be legitimate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in, and in addition to any other rights afforded under, Chapter 31 of Title 16, if a party to a civil union is the legal parent of a child at the birth of the child, such party shall be entitled to have his or her name entered on the original certificate of birth as a parent of the child.
