Rescission of Illinois Voluntary acknowledgment of Paternity or Denial of Parentage is a legal process in which a person who has previously signed a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or denial of parentage can have that acknowledgment revoked. This may be done for a variety of reasons, including if the information on the acknowledgment was given under duress or coercion; if it was based on mistaken identity; if it was signed without being fully informed of the legal consequences; or if it was signed when the signer was a minor. There are two types of rescission: a court-ordered rescission, which requires a court hearing; and an administrative rescission, which is done through the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. In both cases, the rescission must be done within three years of the original acknowledgment or denial.
