Smyrna, Georgia - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Smyrna, GA
When parents are married at the time of a child's birth, the husband is automatically recognized as the biological and legal father. However, for unwed parents in Georgia, additional steps are necessary to establish paternity. The common method is through a Paternity Acknowledgment form, available at hospitals or any Vital Records Office in Georgia. Once completed and notarized, this form is sent to the State Office of Vital Records for entry into the State Putative Father Registry.
However, sometimes parents are uncertain or disagree about paternity. In these situations, either parent can initiate a court proceeding to establish legal paternity in Smyrna. This usually involves obtaining a DNA test to provide conclusive evidence of the father's biological connection to the child.
If the judge decides to establish legal paternity, then decisions about custody, visitation hours, or child support can also be made.
