The Benefits of Establishing Paternity

Establishing paternity is very important for the well-being of a child. Besides having the great emotional benefit of knowing both of his or her parents, there are many legal rights and privileges that a child may receive when both parents are identified.

The legal rights and privileges include:

  • A birth certificate with the names of both legal parents
  • Legal documentation that identifies both parents
  • Access to family medical records and history
  • Financial support from both parents
  • Health and life insurance coverage from either parent
  • The right to inherit from either parent
  • The right to receive social security and veteran’s benefits

It is important to know that once paternity is established, the courts can make orders for a name change, child custody, visitation, child support, health insurance, and reimbursement for pregnancy and birth expenses. The simplest way for unmarried parents to establish paternity is by signing a voluntary declaration of paternity. If this method is refused, the other way to establish paternity is by getting a court order for a genetic test.
