The ability to determine the biological paternity of the child through the process of genetic testing
In a marriage between a man and a woman, there may come a time when the husband or another adult wants to determine the biological paternity of a child.
Paternity litigation can be initiated by the mother seeking child support or by the father seeking fatherhood. Such cases are usually resolved by genetic testing.
A lawsuit to determine the identity of a child’s biological father through DNA testing, which is 99.9 percent accurate, is the quickest and least expensive means to establish paternity.
