Paternity Establishment Programs

Paternity Establishment Programs are initiatives designed to legally establish who a child's biological father is. They ensure that the father's rights and responsibilities, such as custody and financial support, are recognized by law. Typically, these programs involve DNA testing or documentation to confirm parentage. Establishing paternity helps provide children with stability, emotional security, and access to benefits like health insurance and inheritance. These programs are often managed by government agencies or courts, aiming to promote accurate parentage records and support families by clarifying legal responsibilities.
