If you have been served with court documents alleging that you are the father of a child, you have certain procedural rights including:

• The right to request DNA testing
• The right to remain silent
• The right to a court trial
• The right to cross-examine witness
• The right to counsel

When a child is born to an unmarried couple, the law may not recognize the biological father as the legal father unless he has signed a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity or is legally presumed to be the child's father so other way.

The purpose of a paternity action is to judicially determine legal fatherhood; primarily established by DNA evidence.
