What are the benefits of establishing fatherhood (paternity) or motherhood (maternity)?
Establishing parenthood may provide legal, emotional, social, and economic ties between a parent and child. Establishing parenthood should make it easier for a child to find out about medical problems that may run in the family. Establishing parenthood makes it easier for the child to qualify as a dependent for the parent’s disability, retirement, or Veteran’s benefits, or for an inheritance as next-of-kin if the parent dies. In addition, paternity must be established in order to establish a child support order.
