Genetic testing can be offered prior to filing an official court action and is offered at no cost through Child Support Services. If the test shows the alleged father is the biological father, then a petition can be filed with the court so an official order declaring the paternity can be entered.
Even if you're on the child's birth certificate, your rights are limited. Unmarried fathers, for example, have zero enforceable custody rights, unlike the mother. They also can't apply for child support as a direct knock-on effect.
(a) A man is presumed to be the father of a child if: (1) The man and the child's mother are, or have been, married to each other and the child is born during the marriage or within 300 days after the marriage is terminated by death or by the filing of a journal entry of a decree of annulment or divorce.

If any party refuses to submit to the tests, the court may resolve the question of paternity against the party or enforce its order if the rights of others and the interests of justice so require.
Establishing paternity voluntarily requires the parents to sign a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity (VAP) form. You can obtain the form from the medical facility or hospital where you delivered your baby. However, the father's name won't be included in the child's birth certificate until he signs the VAP form.
Having the father sign a birth certificate is one of the things that creates a presumption of paternity. However, a court action is still needed so that agreements or Court orders about child support and parenting time can be made and enforced.
If you have questions, ask your medical provider/Child Support worker or Vital Statistics (Kansas Department of Health and Environment). If you choose or need to establish paternity, you may apply for services with your local Kansas Child Support Services office.
