Presumption of Paternity in Arizona

In the state of Arizona, there are some circumstances when a man is presumed to be a child's father. According to experts at Duhon Law, PLLC, a family law firm serving clients in the Sun City West area, this presumption exists under A.R.S. section 25-814 when any of the following facts are true:

arrow_forward
A DNA test shows that there is a 95% or higher probability that the man is the child's biological father.
arrow_forward
A man and woman are married at the time the child is born, within the 10 months prior to the birth, or if a child is born within 10 months of a marriage being terminated due to legal separation, divorce, annulment, or death.
arrow_forward
The parents are unmarried, but both sign the child's birth certificate.
arrow_forward
The parents are unmarried but each of them signs and files a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity Form.

Paternity and Father's Rights

An unmarried man who has fathered a child in Arizona must take certain steps to establish legal paternity. Family law attorneys at the firm of Dodge & Vega, which handles paternity cases in Sun City West and the surrounding area, explain that until legal paternity is established, Arizona law gives the child's mother full rights and responsibilities regarding the child.

If a child's father wants legal rights, he must follow a process that typically begins with taking a DNA paternity test to prove that he is the child's biological father. Once this is done, the courts can establish legal paternity and then rule on important matters such as child support, custody, and/or visitation rights.

Establishing Court-Ordered Paternity in Sun City West

There are several parties that can file in court to establish legal paternity. This includes the child's mother, the alleged father, a conservator, or, in some cases, the State of Arizona or a public welfare agency. This petition can be filed while the mother is still pregnant or at any time during the child's life. Residents of Sun City West can initiate this process by filing court papers at the Maricopa County Superior Court.
