ESTABLISHING PATERNITY

PATERNITY TESTS HELP DETERMINE RESPONSIBILITY

When trying to establish parental rights, it is important that you have the proper representation. There are tests that may be required or recommended to prove paternity in order to establish the parent – child relationship. These tests are needed to determine visitation, child custody, and child support.

If there is no father on the birth certificate, you should file an original petition to establish paternity. If both parents are listed, you can file a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship paperwork.
