DNA Testing for Paternity in Georgia
Importance of Establishing Paternity in Georgia
When a child is born to unmarried parents in the state of Georgia, steps must be taken to establish legal paternity. According to attorneys at The Siemon Law Firm, which serves clients in Cumming and the surrounding area, there are many reasons to take this important step. Not only will doing so give the child a stronger sense of identity, but it also gives the child critical rights including the right to financial support from both parents and the ability to receive Social Security, pension, and insurance benefits based on either parent's coverage. In addition, the courts cannot rule on visitation, custody, or child support matters until legal paternity is established.
Georgia's Voluntary Paternity Acknowledgment Program
At the time a child is born, the hospital is legally required to provide parents with a Voluntary Paternity Acknowledgement Form. To establish paternity using this form, both parents must sign it in front of a notary public and file it with the State Office of Vital Records. According to Cumming attorneys Miles, Hansford, & Tallant, if either party wishes to rescind this form, they must do so within 60 days of signing it. After that, it's permanent, unless a party can prove fraud, duress, or material mistake of fact.
Filing a Petition for Legitimation
If a man believes he's a child's biological father but he has not married the child's mother, he can file a Petition for Legitimation. According to the attorneys at the Cumming-based McCormick Law Firm, as long as the mother doesn't oppose, the courts will often approve the petition unless the man filing the form has not provided financial support for the child or shown interest in participating in the child's life.
In cases where the mother doesn't agree, both parties will need to provide evidence to support their positions. The courts will weigh the evidence before issuing a ruling.
