FAQ
Asking the court to establish parentage Either parent, or the child, can ask the court to establish parentage. You can also apply for DOR's services and we will help you establish parentage for a child under 18 years of age. As part of a court action, a judge may order you to have paternity tests.
DDC always recommends that the mother contribute her DNA sample to a paternity test. However, although her participation is recommended, it's not required.
By law, when parents are not married, the mother has custody of their child unless a court orders otherwise. A father who has legally established paternity can ask a court to make a decision about custody and visitation. The court will decide what is best for the child. DOR does not handle custody issues.
Massachusetts law only allows a parent 60 days to demand a paternity (DNA) test after an acknowledgment has been executed. (If there is a custody or child support hearing less than 60 days from the acknowledgment, then a party only has until the date of the hearing to rescind the acknowledgment or demand a DNA test.)
DNA testing a father and child only can help to confirm paternity when there are doubts over a child's biological father. It is possible to carry out this test with only the potential father and child. We do not need the mother's DNA to carry out this type of paternity test.
