Paternity

Both parents have the right to have a relationship with their child.  However, paternity must be established before the court will provide any orders relating to the parent-child relationship.

A paternity or parentage suit is a legal action taken to determine the biological father of the child and may be filed by the mother or alleged father.

The Importance of Filing a Paternity Suit

Once the father of the child is identified, the father can:

  • Request possession and access to the child
  • Seek to become the primary custodial parent
  • Ask the court to give the child his last name
  • Contest the adoption of the child by another man or person
  • Provide financial and medical support to the child

Additionally, if the court finds that the alleged father is not the father, the court will renounce the father’s responsibilities or obligations.
