How Is Paternity Determined in Clearwater?
In the past before DNA and blood tests, paternity was difficult to prove and was based on who could argue more persuasively in court. Fortunately, modern testing has advanced greatly and paternity can be determined with 100% accuracy. If you or the other parent of your child wishes to establish paternity, you will simply need to undergo testing at a reputable clinic.
A few different reasons why paternity needs to be established include:
- To enforce child support payments
- To request child custody or visitation rights
- To make decisions in your child's upbringing
- To restrict child custody or visitation rights
