When the parents of a child are not married at the beginning of the pregnancy or when the child is born, the father does not automatically have parental responsibility over the child. 

 In cases where this must be established, the father, mother or a third party on behalf of the child must seek a declaration of parentage to legally establish a parent-child relationship with the father.

This process will give the father parental responsibility once paternity has been established and impose upon them a legal obligation to provide specific financial support for the child.

What You Need To Know About Paternity Rights

An unmarried father can only get parental responsibility for his child in 1 of 3 ways:

  1. Jointly registering the birth of the child with the mother
  2. Getting a parental responsibility agreement with the mother
  3. Getting a parental responsibility order from a court

By establishing paternity, you give your child the rights and benefits of children born to married parents:

  • Legal proof of each parent’s identity.
  • Information regarding family medical history (in case of inherited health problems).
  • Medical or life insurance from either parent (if available).
  • Financial support from both parents, including child maintenance and inheritance.

By signing a declaration of parentage, the mother and father confirm that the father will take parental responsibility for the child.
Tyler Hoffman family solicitors are well-versed in paternity court cases and can guide you through the ins and outs of the process.
