Establishing paternity creates a legal relationship between a father and child. When a child is born to a married couple, the husband is presumed to be the father. Contrastingly, if a mother is unmarried at the time of the child's birth, paternity must be established by the father. For a mother or custodian, establishing paternity is necessary in order to establish a child support order. For a father, establishing paternity is necessary to obtain parenting time, access the child's records, prevent the child from being adopted by another person without his consent or being moved out of the court's jurisdiction without a hearing.
