““Paternity proceedings instituted under Maryland Code, Article 16, Section 66A, et seq., are civil proceedings. Corley v. Moore, 236 Md. 241 . The burden of proof is upon the petitioner —in this case the mother. She is required to establish, by a fair preponderance of the affirmative evidence, that the defendant is the father of the child. Code, Article 16, Section 66F (b); Corley v. Moore, supra. The mother’s testimony standing alone may be sufficient to establish the necessary elements of the alleged father’s paternity. Schlatkin, Disputed Paternity Proceedings, 4th Ed., p. 74. In the present case, the mother’s testimony, if believed, would establish that her act of sexual intercourse with the appellant caused the onset of pregnancy and that the appellant to the exclusion of all others was the father of her child.””
