Where the parents are in agreement is there a simplified procedure for establishing paternity?
Yes. This can be accomplished by the signing and witnessing of a voluntary acknowledgment of parentage. The voluntary acknowledgment must be signed by each parent and the signatures of each parent must be witnessed. The statement should also contain the social security numbers of the parents. This voluntary acknowledgment of paternity may be used as a basis for seeking a child support order without any further legal proceedings to establish paternity. This acknowledgment does not establish an obligation for child support. Child support can only be established by a court order or administrative order by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
