Get Order Of Filiation

How Long Does a Father Have to Establish Paternity? California's paternity law does not have a statute of limitations on establishing paternity. However, if there are any doubts at all about the father's paternity, the courts may order a blood test up to two years after the child's birth.

If the result of the DNA testing shows that the alleged father is the actual father, the court will issue an "order of filiation." This is a court order establishing paternity and confirming the biological father as the "legal" father.

Affidavit of Parentage records are on file in the Central Paternity Registry since June 1, 1997 and can be ordered from the State Office. Records prior to that date would have to be obtained from the court where they were filed. Personal check or money order should be made payable to State of Michigan.

Legal Definition filiation. noun. fil·​i·​a·​tion ˌfi-lē-ˈā-shən. : a legal relationship of a parent and especially a father and child that creates rights and obligations.

Acknowledgment of paternity is the voluntary process of both parents signing a notarized Affidavit of Parentage (AOP), legally declaring the paternity of a child. The AOP is the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) form DCH-0682 (see Appendix A). A completed AOP sample form is also attached (see Appendix B).

Ways to Establish Parentage A voluntary declaration of parentage or paternity is a California governmental form that, when signed by both parents, establishes them as the legal parents of the child. The form must be signed voluntarily. No one can force either person to sign the form.

If the alleged father refuses to cooperate, the court may consider his noncooperation as evidence that he is the biological parent. But if a man believes he is the child's father but is getting no cooperation from the mother, the court may not automatically order DNA testing to prove paternity.

However, the fact that a person's name appears on a birth certificate is not conclusive proof of paternity. Since there is no requirement that a father sign a birth certificate, a mother may list anyone whom she believes is, or wants to be, the father.

If DNA tests show the alleged father is the biological father, the judge will sign an Order of Filiation. An Order of Filiation establishes paternity, making the alleged father the legal father. Custody, parenting time, and child support decisions would then be made in the paternity case.

This form can be used to establish the parentage of a child and may be used to have information on the father of a child added to the certificate of birth for the child.
