You just found out you're a father. You have a kid. You never thought it would happen. You didn't expect it. All of a sudden you found out the child is born. You were in a relationship. Now you have a child. What are your legal rights? What are your obligations? First, we have to make sure we are in fact the father. Some girl calls you up and says you're the father does not mean you are. It will be appropriate to establish paternity. Being sure you are the father is one thing but if you have doubts, it would be prudent to establish paternity. An appropriate petition to determine paternity, a DP case, should be filed in court. The court will order a DNA test through a recognized lab. You get anyone that needs testing to get a swab for the DNA test. You get the test results. The test results rule you out or rule you in. If you're ruled in, then you are the father. You will have some rights and duties as a father. There are two most important obligations of a father. Child support. You have an obligation to provide child support according to the established guidelines. You will be seeing the child on a schedule. You will have overnights. The other most important obligation is parenting time. You will have time for your child. Parenting time is part of the formula for child support. The more parenting time the lesser will be child support.
