Experts Say...
Moskowitz Law Group, L.L.C., serving Mercer County, explains the use of DNA testing for establishing paternity through the court system. "At the hearing, the man is given a chance to accept the paternity test request. The paternity test is a simple DNA test in which medical professionals wipe the inside of the cheek. Since this type of test is recognized to be 99% accurate in New Jersey, a judge will most likely rule that a man who tests positive is the father."
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Mercerville, NJ
In Mercerville, NJ, establishing paternity is how a biological father also becomes the legal father of a child. This process can be done voluntarily by signing a Certificate of Parentage form, as long as both parents agree that the man is the child's biological father. The form may be signed at the hospital when the child is born, or later, through the registrar's office. If a man is unsure whether or not he's the child's father, he should not sign the voluntary form and should prove paternity through DNA testing.
Once paternity is established, the father will obtain parental rights, including having his name added to the birth certificate. The child benefits from having a legal father and will obtain medical and financial benefits, inheritance, veteran's, and social security benefits. The child will also receive access to medical histories from both sides of the family.
