Presumption of Paternity in Rome NY
In the state of New York, there are some situations where a child's paternity is presumed. According to experts at The New York Lawyers Team, which serves clients in Rome and the surrounding area, a presumption of paternity exists if any of the following applies:
New York State's Voluntary Acknowledgment of Parentage
When a presumption of paternity does not exist, parents must take action to establish a child's legal paternity. The easiest way to do this is to sign a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Parentage form. According to Family Legal Care's ABCs of Family Court, for residents of Rome and other counties served by the 5th Judicial Court, this form is typically completed at the hospital at the time of the child's birth. If it's not done at that time, it can also be done at any time until the child turns 21.
Understanding Court-Ordered Paternity
When both parents do not agree about the identity of the child's father or they are not eligible to sign a voluntary acknowledgment of parentage form, an interested party needs to file a paternity case with the family court in the county where the petitioner (the person who filed the case) or responder (the person whom the case is against) lives. The parties that can file a case include the child's mother, the alleged father, the child or the child's guardian, or the Department of Social Services if the child is receiving public assistance. The Oneida County Family Court is located at the Oneida County Courthouse, 301 West Dominick Street, Rome, NY 13440.
