pATERNITY

A court action filed to have a man legally declared to be the father of a child is called a paternity action. It can be brought by either the mother or the father. If paternity is established, the court may order the father to pay child support and grant him custody or visitation rights. The minor child will be able to establish inheritance rights on those assets of the father.

PATERNITY BY DEFAULT OR UNCONTESTED

Paternity by Default:

A divorce by default is obtained when a party (Petitioner) files a Summons and Petition to Establish Parental Relationship against the other party (Respondent). The Petitioner causes the Summons and Petition to be personally served (service of process) upon Respondent. After having been served, Respondent has 30 days to file with the Court his/her Response to Petitioner’s Summons and Petition. Respondent’s failure to file his/her Response timely, gives Petitioner the option to file a Request for Entry of Default against Respondent. Once the court clerk enters a default against Respondent, and after proof that Respondent was properly served with the Petition, Petitioner can proceed forward with the action seeking the orders requested in the Petition to Establish Parental Relationship such as child custody and visitation, child support, and all other matters of concern.

Uncontested Paternity:

A uncontested divorce is obtained when a party (Petitioner) files a Summons and Petition to Establish Parental Relationship against the other party (Respondent). The Petitioner causes the Summons and Petition to be personally served (service of process) upon Respondent. After having been served, Respondent has 30 days to file with the Court his/her Response to Petitioner’s Summons and Petition. If Respondent timely files his/her Response to the Summons and Petition, then Respondent has entered the action and is now a party to the action. With both parties in the action, they then enter into negotiations in the settlement of issues of child custody and visitation, child support, and all other matters of concern. Settlement of the pending issues can be resolved through a Stipulation and Order (an agreement between the parties resolving the pending issues) or if a Stipulation is not reach, then the matter goes to trial.
