Affidavit of Parentage
Paternity Establishment is Important! Your child deserves all of the advantages in life that two parents can give. There are some special reasons to establish paternity.
- Your Child’s Identity: It will be important for your child to know who his or her father is. This can help give your child secure feeling.
- Your Relationship With Your Child: Establishing paternity is one way of showing your child that you care. It’s a great way to start a relationship.
- Benefits For Your Child: Your child may be eligible for some benefits because you have established paternity. These benefits may include social security, veteran’s benefits, life insurance and inheritance. Establishing paternity ensures you can provide for your child even when the unexpected occurs.
- Family Medical History: Knowing the family’s full history of diseases, illnesses and birth defects will help your doctor if your child becomes sick. It’s important to know the father’s medical history for this reason.
- Child Support: Your child needs and deserves both emotional and financial support from both parents. You may think that you can get by on your own and live without any help from your child’s father. But you may change your mind some day. A court can’t order child support without legal proof of paternity. It’s easier to get that proof today than to wait.
