How to Establish Paternity in Broken Arrow
In the state of Oklahoma, if a child is born to unmarried parents and both parents agree about the identity of the child's father, paternity can easily be established by signing and filing a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity form. This can be done at the hospital when the child is born or at a later date. The form can be obtained from a variety of locations including the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the county health department, or your local child support offices. Many Broken Arrow residents are served by the Tulsa East Child Support Office.
If both parents do not agree to voluntarily sign the form, then paternity may need to be established through a court order. In this case, a judge may require a DNA paternity test before issuing an Order of Paternity.
Filing a Paternity Petition Before Birth
Sometimes, situations arise that may leave an unmarried mother wondering whether it's possible to establish their child's paternity before birth. According to the Divorce of Tulsa Law Office, which offers family law services in Broken Arrow and the surrounding area, a mother can file a petition to establish paternity at any point in her pregnancy. This creates a basis for the courts to order a DNA test, which will determine whether the man in question is the child's biological father. During the mother's pregnancy, paternity paperwork can be filed, "discovery" completed, and DNA testing done. However, paternity rights are not legally established until after the child is born.
Benefits of Establishing Paternity
While establishing a child's paternity does require a bit of effort, there are many important reasons to do so. According to attorneys at the Bundy Law Office, which serves Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and other surrounding areas, some of the benefits of establishing paternity include:
