Paternity, as defined by law, is the legal recognition of a man's relationship as a parent, between himself and a child. This includes his duties, rights and responsibilities to that child. When a child is born out of wedlock, that child does not automatically have a legal father without a paternity action to ascertain the identity of the father. When a child is born to a married woman, that child is presumed to have been fathered by her husband and as the presumed father of the child, her husband is assigned certain duties and responsibilities by law. But when there is cause for doubt as to the true biological father, a paternity action may be initiated by any of the parties involved.
Various methods of establishing paternity exist using DNA testing. It is important to establish paternity for a number of reasons, including:
