Establishing paternity in Bayonne, NJ
In Bayonne, New Jersey, establishing paternity is a relatively straightforward process when there are no doubts about the birth father. At the hospital after the child's birth, parents can sign the Certificate of Parentage. By signing this document, the alleged father becomes the legal father. Some parents may opt for DNA testing before signing the certificate to ensure certainty, while others may choose to go to court if there is a disagreement regarding paternity.
If parents decide to establish paternity through court, they can do so with the New Jersey Superior Court. In many cases, the judge will request a DNA test from the alleged father and the child. DNA testing, typically done through non-invasive cheek swabs, is a quick and painless method of establishing paternity that offers reliable results. If paternity is established, the judge can also determine custody, visitation, and child support.
Health Street offers DNA and paternity testing services in Bayonne, New Jersey, providing accurate, efficient, and painless testing options. With the use of cheek swabs, we can help individuals establish paternity or confirm biological relationships with confidence.
