The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals, State ex rel. G.M.F. v. W.F.F., 728 So.2d 144 (Ala.Civ.App.1996), is reversed, and the cause is remanded for reconsideration in light of Ex parte Jenkins, 723 So.2d 649 (Ala.1998).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

HOOPER, C.J., and ALMON, SHORES, HOUSTON, KENNEDY, SEE, and LYONS, JJ., concur.

MADDOX and COOK, JJ., dissent.

MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

The reversal is based on a holding that § 26-17A-1, Ala.Code 1975, does not apply to judgments of paternity that were entered before April 26, 1994. For the reasons I explained in my special writing in Ex parte Jenkins, 723 So.2d 649 (Ala.1998), and my dissent in Ex parte Conway, 720 So.2d 889 (Ala.1998), I respectfully dissent.

COOK, Justice

(dissenting).

The reversal is based on a holding that § 26-17A-1, Ala.Code 1975, does not apply to judgments of paternity that became final before April 26, 1994. I dissented from that holding. See my special writing in Ex parte Jenkins, 723 So.2d 649 (Ala.1998). I dissent from the reversal in this case.
