1a : descent from parents or ancestors : lineage a person of noble parentage. b : derivation, origin a tradition of uncertain parentage. 2 : parenthood.
An action to establish parentage may be brought before or after the birth of the child until three (3) years after the age of majority. The age of majority in Tennessee is 18, thus a Petition in order to establish paternity may be brought until the child is 21 years old.
In parentage cases, also called "paternity cases," the court makes orders that say who the child's legal parents are. If parents are married when a child is born, there is usually no question about parentage.But for unmarried parents, parentage of their children needs to be established legally.
In Tennessee, an unmarried mother automatically has both physical and legal custody of the child until the father establishes paternity. However, once paternity is established, you have the same rights as any father does, under the law.
How do you establish paternity in Tennessee? In Tennessee, paternity can be established either voluntarily or involuntarily until the child turns 21 years old. When the mother and father agree that the father is in fact the biological father, paternity can be established voluntarily.
