Establishing Paternity. Establishing Rights.
Establishing paternity is necessary for unmarried parents to obtain legal rights to child custody and visitation, as well as child support.
Paternity can be established in a couple of ways. The easiest way is when the parents agree on who is the father and file the appropriate documents. Some cases are a little more complicated and require the use of DNA testing.
