With the advent of blood and DNA tests, determining paternity is now virtually 100 percent accurate. This scientific advancement benefits men who have been denied their parental rights and women seeking financial support from biological fathers who denied parentage. Legally establishing paternity is simpler than before. In court, a father can be acknowledged, presumed, or adjudicated. If married at the child’s birth or listed on the birth certificate, the father is presumed the parent unless proven otherwise. A legally recognized father is obligated to financially support his children.
