Benefits of Establishing Paternity
When a child is born to parents who are not married, it's important to take the required steps to establish paternity. Doing so creates many benefits for everyone involved.
According to attorneys at the New Jersey-based Weinberger Divorce and Family Law Group, once legal paternity is established, a child can begin receiving financial support from both parents. Establishing paternity also gives a child a greater sense of identity and allows them to access benefits based on both parents' records. This includes the ability to receive an inheritance and receive Social Security, veterans, and other benefits. After he is declared a child's legal father, a man can also be involved in the child's life by requesting both visitation and paternity rights.
How to Establish Paternity in Lanoka Harbor
According to the Ocean County-based Bronzino Law Firm, there are three primary ways for residents of Lanoka Harbor (and the rest of New Jersey) to establish paternity. The first is called "legal presumption." This occurs when a child is born to a woman who is married. In this case, the mother's husband is automatically presumed to be the child's legal father.
A couple who is not married but who agree about the identity of the father can establish paternity by filing a certificate of parentage with the New Jersey registrar. When this is processed, the father's name is also added to the child's birth certificate. Lastly, when there is a dispute over who the child's father is, an interested party can file a case in court. Generally, the courts will require a DNA test before making a ruling.
The Role of DNA in New Jersey Paternity Cases
When there is a question about the identity of a child's father, a DNA test will likely come into play. Parents can take a DNA test voluntarily or the court can order them to do so. For it to be admissible in the state of New Jersey, a DNA test must be administered at a state-approved facility and must show a 95% or higher probability of paternity.
