Paternity cases determine the father of a child when a child is born out of wedlock.  When parties are married, the husband is presumed, by law, to be the biological father of a child.  When parties are not married, a father can sign an affidavit of parentage.  Paternity can also be established by a paternity/DNA test being performed either privately or through the courts.  Once paternity is established, it can only be changed by a revocation of paternity action. Call Smith Mihas to find piece of mind and certainty in your paternity concerns.
