The Importance of Establishing Paternity
Establishing paternity is essential for both the child and the parents involved. It provides numerous benefits, including:
- Child Support: Legal paternity allows the custodial parent to seek financial support from the non-custodial parent to ensure the child's well-being.
- Custody and Visitation: Paternity actions help determine custody and visitation rights, providing a legal framework for parents to spend quality time with their child.
- Inheritance Rights: Establishing paternity ensures the child's right to inherit assets and benefits from both parents.
- Access to Medical History: Knowing a child's biological father provides crucial information for medical history, genetic conditions, and potential healthcare needs.
