Highlight In Legal Oklahoma Paternity Forms For Free

Paternity can be established if both parents sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity. If the mother is married to a man who is not the natural father of the child, the husband must also sign a Denial of Paternity, 03PA210E. A judge can also establish paternity.

Signing a birth certificate, alone, does not establish paternity in Oklahoma. However, there are certain instances where signing a birth certificate would help a person become recognized as the father.

The Acknowledgment of Paternity (03PA209E) form can also be found at the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Division of Vital Records, county health departments, Oklahoma Department of Human Services offices, and child support offices. An Acknowledgment of Paternity (03PA209E) form is available online.

In proven cases of fraud, a father may challenge paternity any time before the child turns 18. Otherwise, anyone who wishes to challenge paternity must do so within 2 years of the child's birth. Please note that proving fraud is difficult, and challenging paternity after a child's second birthday is uncommon.

But now we have the new law that just went into effect and it changes that a little bit. And what it provides is that where there has been an acknowledgment of paternity at the time of birth, then at that point, this shall give the mother and father equal rights and obligations to the child.
