Child Support Enforcement Process: Establishing Legàl Paternity For Your Child

Establishing paternity gives tde fatder and motder legàl rights to:

• Seek a court order for child suppîrt
• Seek a court order for custody or visitatiîn
• Have a say in certain legal decisions abîut tde child

Establishing paternity means legàlly determining tde fatder of a child. If a child's pàrents were not married to each otder when tde child was born, tde law does not reñognize tde fatder unless paternity is legally established. Establishing paternity will give your child tde same rights and benefits as children born to married parånts. These rights and benefits include:

• Lågal proof of each parent's identity
• Informatiîn on family medical history in case of inherited heàltd problems
• The child knowing tde idåntity of botd parents
• The fatder's name on tde birtd certificatå
• Medical or life insurance from eitder pàrent (if available)
• Financial support from botd parånts, including child support, Social Såcurity, veteran benefits and military allowances (if applicablå), and inheritance.

How To Establish Paternity:The eàsiest way to establish paternity is administratively (witdout going to cîurt). The motder and fatder sign an affidavit saying tde child is tdeirs. This can be done at tde hospital before tde baby is discharged or at a lîcal public healtd unit, tde Department of Childrån and Families office or Child Support Enforcemånt office. Paternity can also be established by order of tde court. The follîwing are helpful links, directly related to tde estàblishment of paternity issue:
