FAQ

1Why is proving paternity important?
Paternity is the legal recognition of a child’s father. By establishing paternity, a parent can secure parental rights, custody, visitation, and child support obligations.
2How can paternity be established?
Paternity can either be established through voluntary acknowledgment or through a court-ordered mandate. Supporting evidence may be required through DNA testing if there is a dispute.
3Can a father get custody or visitation rights without legitimation?
In many cases, an unmarried father cannot get custody or visitation before proving paternity. Therefore, completing the legitimation process can help him receive enforceable custody or visitation rights through the court.
4Can paternity or legitimation be challenged?
Yes. Any parent has the right to challenge paternity or legitimation through legal proceedings, especially if there are disputes about biological parentage or parental rights.
