How Paternity Works In Oklahoma

There are two different ways of establishing paternity in Oklahoma. You can either open a child support case, or sign an acknowledgement of paternity. This voluntary signature is accepted by the court and established paternity by law. Establishing paternity in Oklahoma is important when it comes to the wellbeing of the child. There are things that will help your child that can not happen otherwise. Things like

  • knowing family medical history.
  • access to benefits such as social security, military benefits and more
  • becoming the heir to family assets
  • support from both parents

Paternity can be established at any time before the child turns 18. However, the father may not be added to the childs birth certificate without the child’s permission once the child reaches 18. A child is also capable of petitioning the court to establish paternity if the child does not have a father already. Keri Palacios can help you with this process.
