What You Need To Know About Paternity Rights
An unmarried father can only get parental responsibility for his child in 1 of 3 ways:
- Jointly registering the birth of the child with the mother
- Getting a parental responsibility agreement with the mother
- Getting a parental responsibility order from a court
By establishing paternity, you give your child the rights and benefits of children born to married parents:
- Legal proof of each parent’s identity.
- Information regarding family medical history (in case of inherited health problems).
- Medical or life insurance from either parent (if available).
- Financial support from both parents, including child maintenance and inheritance.
By signing a declaration of parentage, the mother and father confirm that the father will take parental responsibility for the child.
