Paternity
- An action can be filed by either parent to establish paternity. This can be filed with Juvenile Court or Administratively through the Child Support Enforcement Agency.
- In the alternative, the father can complete an Acknowledgment of Paternity Affidavit. If the mother does not dispute the fact within 60 days, paternity is established.
Parentage
This is an action filed in Juvenile Court, when the parties have never been married and a man is trying to establish father’s rights and responsibilities with the minor child.
