Paternity

The old joke in law school was, “Maternity is a matter of fact, but paternity is a matter of opinion.”

With modern DNA testing, that joke is no longer valid. DNA testing can determine paternity to a degree that courts routinely accept the test results. When a paternity case is filed, the judge immediately orders DNA testing and mother, child and the alleged father all submit DNA samples. If the test shows that the alleged father is the biological father, he can still demand a trial, but he has very little chance of prevailing. The biological father will pay child support and have the right to visit the child. Under the right circumstances, he can even get custody, but if he has been denying his paternity, that is not likely.
