Paternity can be established through one of two ways –
1. A child is born during the marriage between you and your spouse.
2. It is established in the court system as an Establishment of Paternity case.
Who Can Establish Paternity?
Either the Mother or the Father can establish paternity by filing a Petition to Establish Paternity. It is also good to know that anyone who believes himself to be the father may file to establish paternity.
