Paternity Rights

Paternity rights refer to the legal entitlements and responsibilities of a father in relation to his child. These rights can include the ability to seek custody or visitation, the right to make decisions about the child's upbringing, and responsibilities to provide financial support. Paternity rights vary by jurisdiction, but establishing legal paternity may involve registering with local authorities or through genetic testing. Fathers generally gain these rights at birth or through a court process. Recognizing these rights ensures both parents are involved in the child's life, promoting their well-being and parental responsibilities.
