What is Paternity, and Why is it Important?
Paternity is the legal determination of a father's relationship with a child. It is essential to establish paternity for several reasons, including:
- Establishing child support and custody arrangements
- Securing a father's rights to visit and make decisions about a child
- Establishing inheritance rights
- Accessing medical and other information about the child and the child's family
There are several ways to establish paternity, which include:
- Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity: This is a legal document that can be signed by both parents, acknowledging that the man is the child's father.
- Genetic Testing: A DNA test can be conducted to determine the likelihood that a man is the father of a child.
- Court Order: A court can order a man to undergo genetic testing or determine paternity based on other evidence presented.
