Establishing paternity in Schaumburg, IL
Unmarried parents in Schaumburg, Illinois, have two options for establishing paternity. If they have no doubts and agree on paternity, they can sign the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity. This option is available at the hospital, and the staff can assist them. If they don't sign it at the hospital, they can sign it later, but they need a witness present. After filling and signing the papers, the document must be filed with the Department of Healthcare.
If there are doubts or uncertainties regarding paternity, parents often go to court, where a judge will usually order a DNA test to determine paternity.
