When a child is born to parents that aren’t married and don’t fall into one of the categories above, the parents must take steps to establish legal paternity.
NJ’s Parenting Opportunity Program (POP) Helps Vineland Parents
The state of New Jersey has established a Paternity Opportunity Program (POP) that assists unmarried parents with establishing paternity. This allows parents to file a Certificate of Parentage for free if it’s done at the hospital. Paternity can also be established at a later date by filing the form with your local registrar’s office or county welfare agency. In Vineland, this would be the Vineland City Health Department, which is located at 640 E Wood St, Vineland, NJ 08360.
Establishing Paternity Without Voluntary Acknowledgment
If both parents don’t agree about the child’s paternity, either the child’s mother, the custodial parent, or the potential father can file an allegation of paternity with the courts. The Cumberland County Family Division Courthouse is located at 60 W Broad St STE 1, Bridgeton, NJ 08302.
Next, the parties will have to undergo DNA testing. If a test shows there is a 95% or higher chance that the man is the biological father, the courts will presume him to be the father. If the test shows lower than a 95% chance, the man will be excluded as the child’s potential legal father.
