Resolving Paternity Issues
An action for paternity is a legal determination from the court to establish who the child's biological father is. In Colorado, there is a presumption of paternity if the parties are married or if an individual's name appears on the birth certificate. To contest or establish paternity a motion is filed with the court requesting that genetic testing occur with the child or children, and the alleged father. Actions for paternity are often important for establishing child support. In other instances, the state may initiate an action for child support.
