Both parents would need to appear before a judge of a district court in Kansas and complete the Paternity Consent Form for Birth Registration. To start this process, we recommend contacting your local county courthouse in the state of Kansas.

A person is presumed to be the father of a child in certain circumstances, including: The father is or has been married to the mother, and the child was born during the marriage, or within 300 days after the marriage was terminated by death, annulment, or divorce.

It is possible to have multiple presumed fathers. Kansas Law presumes a man is the father of a child if: The child was born during the marriage or within 300 days after the filing of a divorce decree/annulment; He attempts to marry and voidable marriages still count to create a presumption.

A potential father may ask the mother for a DNA test to prove or disprove paternity. In this situation, a mother can refuse the test. If the mother requests a paternity test, she can subsequently change her mind and can refuse the test. When the court orders a paternity test, the mother cannot refuse.

Should either the alleged or presumed father or mother not show up to the paternity test, then the only option is to file a contempt case against them. A court will not allow a parent to ignore court-ordered paternity testing and may fine or sentence the no-show party.

A mother could refuse a Peace of Mind paternity test. However, a mother's permission is not needed and the DNA test could still be performed if the father has parental responsibility for the child. Samples can just be analyzed from the alleged father and the child.

Paternity suits in Kansas are not heard by juries, but are decided by judges. When paternity is determined by the court, it will issue orders relating to custody, parenting time and child support that are in the child's best interest.

You can start that process at your nearest Vital Records office or the DPH State Vital Records Office in Columbia. You will need to provide a certified copy of the marriage license, and both you and the child's father will have to sign a statement called an 'affidavit' in the presence of a notary.

You will need to provide our office with an original or certified copy of two documents dated before your tenth birthday which show your correct date of birth. We also need a notarized request stating what you are wanting to amend on your birth certificate. View a Sample of a Notarized Statement (PDF).
