A man and woman do not agree that he is the father of her child. The man wishes to assert his paternity.
More than one man claims to be the father of the child. Each man would complete a separate Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity.
The mother refuses to complete and sign the Acknowledgment of Paternity form.
The Notice of Intent Claim Paternity form will not legally establish paternity nor can it be used to add a man's name to the child's birth certificate.
It is simply an assertion of belief that he is the father of a child and wishes to preserve his rights as a parent. The form must be filed before or within 31 days of the date of birth of a child. The man is encouraged to obtain legal advice and petition the court for the establishment of legal paternity.
