FAQ
If you are not on the birth certificate, you do not have any legal rights unless you establish paternity for your child. For unmarried parents, the father must first establish paternity before they have any legal relationship or rights to their child. This applies regardless of whether they are the biological father.
After paternity is established, the father will have legal rights and duties to the child and can be named on the child's birth certificate. The child will have access to the father's medical history and will have the right to inherit from the father's estate, including death benefits and inheritance.
You can file a SAPCR case in Texas if: the child has lived in Texas for at least the last 6 months (or since birth) or. Texas was the child's home state and the child has been gone less than 6 months.
If the child has a presumed father, however, the paternity suit must be brought within four years of the child's birth, unless: the presumed biological father and mother did not live together or engage in sexual relations during the likely time of conception; or.
A paternity test is simple - the parents and child(ren) have their cheeks swabbed either in court, at a local clinic, or at a local Child Support office. DNA tests can determine the biological father with 99% accuracy.
A similar but more structured form of mutual agreement is mediation, which is a type of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This is another way to reach a child custody agreement out of court. Instead of just the parents discussing custody issues, a mediator (who is a neutral third party) helps negotiate.
Paternity can be established by legal presumption (when the parents are married), by filing an acknowledgment of paternity, or by court order. Establishing paternity secures a father's rights as a parent. Also, children need and are entitled to: Financial support from both parents.
Establishing paternity only comes with a time limit if that child already has a presumed father, who is not you. This time limit is four years after the birth of that child, as specified on their birth certificate. However, there are exceptions to this period of four years.
