2014 House Bill 5464 ↩

Senate Roll Call 740: Passed

To establish that a DNA test showing a man to be the father of a child born out of wedlock establishes paternity status for legal purposes, and if the mother has been granted initial custody, then the paternity status may be the basis for court-ordered child support, custody, or parenting time without further adjudication. The child would have the identical status rights, and duties of a child born in lawful wedlock. The bill establishes requirements and procedures related to all this.
