ARKANSAS Part 45



How can OCSE assist with establishing paternity?

By applying for child support services, OCSE can take steps to help a custodial parent establish paternity for a child. The OCSE caseworker needs as much information as you can provide about the alleged father and the facts about your relationship with him, your pregnancy, and the birth of your child. Some of these questions may be personal, but OCSE must keep the information that you give confidential.

The caseworker will also want to know whether the alleged father ever provided any financial support, or in any other way acknowledged - through letters or gifts - that the child was his. A picture of the alleged father with the child is helpful, as well as any information from others who could confirm your relationship with him.
