What is Paternity?

Paternity refers to the legal recognition of a man as the father of a child.

Why Is Establishing Paternity So Important?

Fathers want to spend quality time with their children or make up for lost time. Determining paternity can also give them the right to receive information regarding their children from schools and hospitals.

However, fathers aren’t the only ones who can benefit from confirming paternity. Mothers can use this information to get help – financial or otherwise – that they require from the father.
