AT&T, Sprint & T-Mobile Users Can Dial: **CHILD

Even after Paternity is established by the court or through a valid marriage, a father has a right to file a Petition to Disestablish Paternity. Upon complete and properly executed motion, the court will undo a paternity finding if:

• Scientific test proves male petitioner is not the father; and
• The father petitioner did not adopt the child; and
• The child is under the age of 18 when the father petitioner asserts his petition to disestablish paternity.

However, the court may deny a petition to disestablish paternity even if the father petitioner is not really the father, if the father petitioner knew he was not the father and married the mother, and:

• Assumed parental obligations (paid child support); or
• Acknowledged paternity in a sworn statement; or
• Consented to be on the child’s birth certificate; or
• Promised in writing to support the child and was required to support the child based on that promise; or
• Disregarded notice from a state agency to submit to scientific testing.
