Establishing Paternity for Mississippi Child Support

Why should I establish paternity for my child/ren?

• It may give your child/ren a better sense of identity in knowing both of their parents  
• You can learn about your child/ren’s medical history so that you know about their risk of developing certain predisposed conditions
• You may be able to claim death, disability, and insurance benefits for your child/ren
• Your child/ren will benefit from having the financial support of both parents

How can I establish paternity?
One way of establishing paternity is at birth. By signing an Acknowledgement of Paternity form at the hospital, you can establish a legal link to your child’s father. Paternity can also be established voluntarily or involuntarily through a court order. If you qualify, the Mississippi Department of Human Services Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) can help you establish a paternal link for your child/ren through genetic testing.
