ARKANSAS Part 55

How can OCSE assist with establishing paternity?

If the custodial parent applies for OCSE services, OCSE can take steps to establish paternity for a child. Arkansas law does not allow OCSE to petition the court to establish paternity on behalf of the noncustodial parent. If a case is not open with OCSE by the custodial parent, then you may wish to seek the advice of a private attorney.
