Why Paternity Is So Important In Michigan Family Law
Establishment of paternity, whether through an affidavit of parentage or DNA paternity testing, is a guiding factor in child custody, parenting time and child support orders. Establishing paternity establishes the legal relationship between a father and their biological children, with all that entails.
However, in Michigan, establishing paternity between unmarried parents can be complex if it is not done at the time of birth. If there is any resistance to establishing the relationship, it may even take a court order to compel DNA paternity testing.
What Can I Do If I Signed An Affidavit Of Parentage, But I’m Not The Biological Father In Michigan?
By signing the affidavit of parentage, you would be considered the legal father of a child. Signing this waives your right to biological testing and other forms of confirmation. However, if you find out later that you are not the biological father, you may be able to revoke your parentage if you file a petition. The process is not simple, so speaking with Attorney Hills can make these next steps a lot more straightforward.
