Frequently Asked Questions

Establishment

Q: Why should I establish paternity?

A: Establishing paternity provides your child(ren) with the basic legal right to financial support from the father, establishes your child(ren’s) right to potential future benefits such as social security, pension, veteran’s benefits and rights to inheritance. It also enables your child to obtain accurate medical history of both parents, if ever needed.
