Establishing paternity in Bellevue, NE
In Bellevue, Nebraska, unmarried fathers looking to establish their rights and responsibilities towards their children must establish paternity. Paternity gives the child a legal father and can provide benefits for all parties involved.
The easiest way of establishing paternity in Bellevue is by signing the Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) at the hospital once the baby is born. When both parents sign the document, they need to ensure it is notarized, and then they need to file it with DHHS Vital Records Management to become official. Hospital staff are usually able to assist with this process. However, if there are any doubts or disagreements about paternity, it is important not to sign an AOP. Remember that it is a legally binding document with the same effect as a court order.
Alternatively, some people establish paternity through court proceedings. This usually happens in cases where either parent disagrees with paternity, or if one party is not cooperative. When the court is involved, the judge often orders genetic testing, a reliable and quick method of proving whether the alleged father is related to the child. If the judge establishes paternity, other matters like custody, visitation, or child support can also be established.
