Roswell, Georgia - DNA Testing
Paternity Laws and Regulations in Roswell, GA
Under HB 568, the Georgia Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) is now required to conduct DNA paternity testing on all newly established child support cases for instances in which paternity is not established. This law comes in efforts to end wrongful paternity claims that result in Roswell men being legally bound to child support agreements involving children that may not be theirs.
In the event that a Roswell mother requests child support from an alleged father, DCSS will first request that the man undergo DNA testing to grant paternity. If he's confirmed to be the biological father, the system can then move forward with determining child support payment amounts, which are based on income and any existing child support obligations involving other children.
Why Establish Paternity in Roswell, GA?
A Georgia paternity establishment must be completed to request monthly child support services. However, beyond monetary assistance, a paternity establishment also offers additional benefits that assist both the child and parents. By establishing paternity, a Roswell father will gain paternal rights over his child and will be able to request custody and/or visitation if necessary.
Furthermore, establishing paternity in the state of Georgia is also extremely beneficial for the wellbeing of a child. By establishing paternity, a Roswell child can receive benefits from both parents, including but not limited to inheritance, health insurance, and any existing social security benefits.
Paternity Programs in Roswell, GA
The state of Georgia offers the Putative Father Registry program for men who believe they have fathered a child. Information such as name and address will be added to the registry once a paternity establishment has been completed or if the man who believes he has fathered a child registers himself.
This registry is important for potential fathers as it is used to notify a parent of any adoption petitions involving the child or to notify of any legal proceedings involving the child. Registering will also help notify the father of any court proceedings where his parental rights are subject to termination.
