To get a court order establishing paternity, a parent or the county attorney files papers to start a paternity case in the local District Court where the child or the other party lives. If either parent receives public assistance for the child, the county attorney will start the paternity case.
If you would like to formally establish paternity, you should begin by asking the father of your child to voluntarily acknowledge paternity.The birth father can voluntarily acknowledge paternity in two ways: He can be present at the birth of your child and sign a Declaration of Paternity.
Establishing paternity ensures a father's legal rights and various rights and privileges for their children, such as rights to inheritance, father's medical and life insurance benefits, and Social Security and veterans' benefits, plus access to paternal family health history.
If you get married after the child is born, it can establish paternity retroactively. This is not an automatic process, and it is in you and your child's best interest to work with a family lawyer to establish paternity in this way. Both parents can sign an Affidavit of Paternity, which establishes paternity.
