What Are The Benefits of Establishing Paternity

Establishing paternity benefits the child, the mother, and the father. The child will gain support, a sense of belonging, and the financial benefits that come with having a father such as medical benefits, disability, and inheritance rights. Once established, the mother will receive help raising and supporting the child. Fathers gain the right to spend time with their child and share responsibility for the child’s upbringing.

Establishing Paternity in Colorado

Mothers often need to serve the alleged father with legal papers naming him the father and asking for child support. Presumed or alleged fathers can also file a request to take a DNA test.

Naming the father on the birth certificate is not the same thing as determining custody. In fact, custody and parenting time are not handled by Social Services in the paternity action. If the parents disagree on these matters, they will need to go to a Colorado court. Determining paternity is just the first step to getting the child the support and attention he or she needs.
