If you are questioning the paternity of your child, you are not alone. In the United States, approximately 30% of children are born to unmarried parents. In Florida, that number is even higher, with 42% of births occurring outside of marriage.
And, while most fathers willingly accept paternity and take on the role of raising their child, there are some situations where the father may question whether he is the biological parent. If you find yourself in this situation, it is important to know that you have options—and one of those options is to seek a paternity test.
A paternity test is a scientific test that can determine with absolute certainty whether or not a man is the biological father of a child. This test can be performed through DNA testing, which compares the child’s DNA with that of the potential father.
Paternity tests in West Palm Beach, are usually performed either through blood tests or cheek swab tests, and they are typically 99.9% accurate.
There are many reasons why someone would seek a paternity test. Perhaps the mother is unsure who the father is and wants to know for certain before she names him on the birth certificate.
Or, maybe the father has doubts about his paternity and wants to confirm (or rule out) his suspicions before he takes on any legal responsibilities for the child. In some cases, fathers may seek a paternity test in order to establish their parental rights—such as seeking custody or visitation privileges—while in other cases mothers may seek a paternity test in order to establish child support from the father.
No matter what your reason for seeking a paternity test may be, it is important to know that you have options available to you in West Palm Beach—and that at Dixon Law Firm, we can help.
