<strong>THE</strong> <strong>BASICS</strong>: PATERNITY PROCEEDINGS IN NEW YORK STATE<br />
If the Support Magistrate decides that the father is the biological parent, the<br />
Support Magistrate will make an Order of Filiation. The Order of Filiation<br />
must conta<strong>in</strong> the child’s social security number, if available.<br />
GETTING CHILD SUPPORT AFTER A PATERNITY CASE<br />
If the Support Magistrate issues an Order of Filiation, he or she will then<br />
automatically beg<strong>in</strong> a child support case. You do not need to file a separate<br />
child support petition if the Court issues an Order of Filiation at the<br />
conclusion of a paternity case. The Order of Filiation is the legal foundation<br />
for the Court to order the father to pay child support.<br />
