Tulsa Paternity Attorney
What Are Oklahoma’s Paternity Laws?
When a child is born to unwed parents, the two must take additional steps to establish paternity for the benefit of their child and the protection of their own parental rights.
Oklahoma paternity law offers a few different methods for parents to establish paternity, paternity can be established when:
- A child is born to a married couple, in which case the husband is legally assumed to be the child’s father
- The parents sign an Acknowledgement of Paternity
- Either parent files a paternity lawsuit, leading the matter to be adjudicated
- If the mother was married to someone other than the father of the child, the husband must sign a denial of paternity before the rightful father’s paternity may be established
