Who Benefits from Established Paternity
Whenever a child is born out of wedlock, it is a good idea to establish paternity, providing something positive for all parties:
  • The father, who previously had no legal relationship with his child, becomes officially a part of the child’s life.
  • The mother benefits by having another parent on paper, and a pathway to obtaining financial support for their child.
  • The child benefits most of all — financial support, the loving care of another parent, a pathway to inheritance, and vital information about health care, genetics and more.
Mothers & Fathers Have Equal Standing Under the Law

Many dads think they are at an automatic disadvantage in custody and support proceedings. This is not the case. The courts go by one main criterion: what is in the child’s best interests. Mothers and fathers have equal standing in the court, by and large. One exception is when a child is still breastfeeding. Men also think, sometimes, that DNA tests for paternity are invasive, but they are really quite simple — a swab swipe to the inside of the cheek, and it’s over.
