If the couple agrees to the paternity of the child they can sign a declaration of paternity, and this is usually done at the hospital when the baby is born. Number two the DA’s office, the family support division at DA’s office can file a case to establish paternity and child support at no cost to either party, however, they do not handle custody or visitation matters. And number three, you can file a complaint to establish paternity with the court and the family judge can determine paternity based on DNA testing or other statutory presumptions.
