How to Establish Paternity
Establishing paternity may take a lot of effort but many says there are really rewarding benefits to it. Today, there are advanced technologies to help women establish paternity for bioethical and legal concerns. The court, insurance and inheritance companies, and adoption agencies have also included paternity identity results in their policies.
Other than the child’s right to know and be known by his father, there are many legal benefits to it. The child has the right to obtain financial benefits from his biological father. Other than regular child support, the child also has a legal right to his father’s death benefits. Such benefits include including social security or Veteran’s benefits and possible inheritance. Another legal benefit includes access to his father’s medical history. If your child’s paternity is established, he can be informed of any genetic medical issues that could have been passed on from the biological father.
