Aiding You In Establishing Paternity

There are limitless benefits to a child having both parents in their life. The love and support two parents can provide far out-matches that of one, positioning a child for a much better future. Because of this, if you and your partner have had a child outside of marriage, it is critical that you establish paternity.

If you have questions about establishing paternity in Tennessee, our attorney can answer them. At Ken Lawson Law, we work with Chattanooga mothers and fathers as they seek to establish paternity and obtain its accompanying benefits.

Paternity Requirements In Tennessee

When a married couple gives birth to a child, paternity is automatically established. When a couple is unmarried, the process requires a bit more action. There two ways that you can establish paternity in Tennessee:

  • Voluntarily: By signing a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity, both parents agree on recognizing the child’s legal father.
  • Involuntarily: Filing a Petition to Establish Parentage will call for a DNA test to determine paternity. The court will then use the result to issue an order of parentage.

The benefits of establishing paternity can serve both parents. By determining paternity, a father can seek visitation rights. For a mother, an official acknowledgement of paternity can ensure that her child will receive the financial support they deserve. As this process can be complex, it may be beneficial to consult with a family law attorney.
