Who Is This Service For?

Having a child today carries moral as well as ever-increasing financial responsibilities. This can cause disputes whether such obligations should, in fact arise, especially where the birth of the child was the result of a fleeting relationship.
Given the size of the financial burden that a child brings, it can be essential for a parent to confirm that the person considered to be the father of the child, is truly the father.
Perhaps as a result, the demand for paternity testing has significantly increased over the past two decades, indicating a substantial need for clarity in parent-child biological relationships. Equally, there may be those men seeking to demonstrate their parenthood of a child.
However, it may not only be the potential father of the child that seeks clarity as to parenthood, but the mother and, indeed, the child.

Process: Step by Step

Initiate the legal process by filing a paternity claim at the Court of First Instance. This is typically done at the court located in the defendant's domicile. Note, the defendant may be the mother or the alleged father of the child.
During this stage, you may also request related matters, such as the child's alimony or a paternity test.
To ensure the court's acceptance of your claim, it's essential to provide substantial evidence and witnesses attesting to the relationship between the alleged parents.
The range of admissible evidence includes but is not limited to letters, receipts, emails, photographs, WhatsApp messages, and testimonies. A paternity test could also serve as a robust piece of evidence.
Following the submission of your claim and evidence, the judge will evaluate the validity and strength of the provided proofs to decide on the progression of the claim.
It's crucial to note that, although the procedure is judicial, a judge cannot compel the other party to partake in a biological paternity test. However, a refusal to undergo a paternity test could have unfavourable repercussions, underscoring the importance of a well-prepared claim and strong evidence.
