paternity
If two people who are not married to each other have a child together, that child’s paternity may be an issue for the court to decide.
Evidence of paternity includes DNA testing, the father’s written acknowledgement of paternity filed with the state registrar, the father’s consent to being named on the birth certificate, and the father receiving the child into his home and openly acknowledging the child as his biological child.
In cases in which the mother and father are not married to each other, paternity must be established before a man who claims to be the biological father can obtain custody or parenting time.
