Why is establishing paternity important?
Parent – Child
Relationship: Both parents and the child have the right to a parent-child
relationship. Both parents and the child deserve an opportunity to develop,
enjoy and grow in this relationship.
Financial Support:
The law requires both parents to support their child(ren). This is true even
with an unplanned pregnancy. Children supported by one parent often do not have
enough money to meet their needs.
Benefits: Your
child has the right to benefits from both parents. These include Social
Security, insurance benefits, inheritance rights, veterans and others.
Medical: Your
child may need a complete medical history from the families of both parents.
This could include inherited health problems.
