Paternity
Paternity Cases | Guidance and Legal Advocacy
Paternity is a method of solidifying a child’s parentage. A request to establish paternity may be filed by the state, county, or an individual. In a paternity action, the court generally will order DNA tests to establish paternity. The results of the DNA tests will allow the father to seek custody rights and physical placement or visitation with the child. The court will also set child support based on the parents’ incomes and how much physical placement each parent has.
Reasons to Establish Paternity:
- provide the child with a needed identity.
- establish a health history of both parents for medical care and treatment of the child.
- allows financial support from two parental sources.
- enables the child to be covered by parents’ health insurance, social security, inheritance and veteran’s benefits.
- parents are able to seek public assistance where they qualify.
