How Paternity is Established: Proving Paternity in Court
If the alleged father refuses to cooperate, the court can establish paternity. The court may consider the following information:
- Details about the man's relationship with the mother;
- Money given for the child by the man;
- Admissions of fatherhood by the man;
- Letters sent or gifts given to the child by the man;
- Details about when the child was conceived;
- Information from others who knew about the man's relationship with the mother; and
- Pictures of the man with the child.
