Determining or disputing the paternity of a minor child is often needed in family law cases to resolve various important issues relating to minor children.

For the mother of a child, these issues often include child custody, visitation, and child support, which may all hinge on legally establishing who the biological father is, if the assumed father is disputing he is the biological parent of a minor child.

For a male, legally establishing if he is, or is not, the biological father of a minor child, depending upon the situation, will establish father's rights, answer questions regarding potential infidelity, or release him from being held legally responsible for a minor child where a claim of fatherhood has been made.

A paternity test may be conducted voluntarily or ordered by the court to resolve child related family law issues. A paternity test may be requested by the mother, father, a male who is asserting claim as the biological father of a child, and in certain cases, by the child.
