How To Establish Paternity

If you are the father of a child, you may wonder, “How do I legally establish paternity of the child?” It’s difficult to cover this topic in an article that’s national in scope, because parentage law is different in all fifty states. Fortunately, the Uniform Law Commission (a national organization that seeks to make law the same in every state) has drafted the Uniform Parentage Act (UPA) and has recommended that all states adopt the UPA. In states that have adopted the UPA, the law of parentage is largely the same. So far, twenty-two states have adopted the UPA. This post will address paternity law only in states that have adopted the UPA.
