Birth certificate. If a birth certificate declares the father and he signs it, this is a legally binding qualification of paternity. DNA test. Court order.

Get on the birth certificate. Once your child is born, the easiest way to establish paternity is by getting your name on the birth certificate. Get an order through an administrative agency. Get a court order.

In Alabama, the simplest way to establish paternity is voluntarily, with both the mother and father signing a form that acknowledges paternity by identifying the child's legal father. Once parents have filled out this form and it has been properly filed, the father's name can be added to the child's birth certificate.

The parties can consent to an administrative proceeding whereby a DNA test will be ordered by the Alabama Department of Human Resources. If the test is conclusive, the parties will then need to file a petition to establish paternity with an Alabama court and receive an official court order.

When Is Paternity Automatically Established? Alabama has codified a presumption of paternity where a father is married to the mother of the child, and the child is born either during the marriage or within 300 days after parties get a divorce.

If you get married after the child is born, it can establish paternity retroactively. This is not an automatic process, and it is in you and your child's best interest to work with a family lawyer to establish paternity in this way. Both parents can sign an Affidavit of Paternity, which establishes paternity.
