Paternity law is defined as the legal relationship between a father and his biological or adopted child. It deals with the obligation of a father to a child and a child to a father. Paternity action, on the other hand, is legal action used to establish a parental relationship of a father to his kid when the parents are unmarried. Only a person with standing can file for paternity action. A person with standing includes 4 main parties; a mother, an alleged father, the child, and/or the state. Although paternity action is done mainly to establish the relationship, it can be used for a variety of reasons. One possible reason is a father seeking custody or visitation rights for his child. To be awarded a custody or visitation rights, the alleged father must first prove his relationship with the son/daughter to the court. He can submit DNA testing result to confirm his identity as a father. The second possible reason is a mother seeking child support. If a mother wishes for child support, she must prove to the court the legal relationship between the child and his/her alleged father through a paternity action. Only then will the court issue child support. The third possible reason is for a child seeking a parental relationship with his/her father. It is a way to establish a connection with the father. Another possible reason is for a court seeking reimbursement for public assistance. This is possible when an unwed mother is receiving Medicaid while giving birth. This is done by the state to get a reimbursement of the public assistance they provide for the mother and the baby. Whatever the reason for paternity action, a lawyer from The Law Offices of Kyle R.
