Experts Say...
Alan L. Billian, P.A., of Maryland, explains voluntary assumed paternity and involuntary paternity. In Linthicum, MD, paternity will be assumed in a number of circumstances, such as:
In some cases, paternity will be established involuntarily, with a paternity lawsuit against the alleged father. Billian stated, "The father must appear in court and submit to a DNA test. These DNA blood tests (are) 99% accurate and if paternity is established, the father will be required to pay child support and the father will have established paternity."
Billian went on to explain the significance of establishing paternity by saying, "The significance of establishing paternity is that the father now has rights to visitation in Maryland. This means that, excluding a few circumstances, the father can be granted access to his child through visitation in some format." "The establishment of paternity also means child support payments must be made in accordance with the court's ruling," he said.
