If a father is not already listed on the birth certificate, a 2 Party Acknowledgment of Paternity Affidavit can be completed by the mother and the acknowledging father and submitted to Vital Records for processing. The form must be properly executed and free of any altered information.

The father only has one year from the birth of the child (or one year from the day he knew or should have known that he was not the biological father, whichever occurs later) to file a disavowal case with the court.

A legal DNA paternity test (with court-admissible results) for child support, child visitation, and immigration, typically costs $300 to $500, and includes professional DNA collection. A non-invasive prenatal paternity test (testing before the baby is born) is $1,500 to $2,000.

A DNA paternity test is nearly 100% accurate at determining whether a man is another person's biological father. DNA tests can use cheek swabs or blood tests. You must have the test done in a medical setting if you need results for legal reasons. Prenatal paternity tests can determine fatherhood during pregnancy.
