What is a Paternity Action?

A paternity action is a legal proceeding to determine the biological identity of a child's father. More often than not, paternity issues arise in cases involving child support, but are important in determining the rights and obligations of each parent when it comes to adoption, inheritance, custody, visitation, healthcare, and other aspects that impact a father's relationship with his child.
