Paternity & Related<br />

(see also Disestablishment, Res Judicata & Paternity)<br />

An excellent overview of the issues relating to the determination of paternity may be found at<br />

www.lawny.org/index.php/advocate-page-attorney-resources-119/38-public-advocate-information/171-paternity-for-advocates<br />

Note: Changes in federal regulations, effective Jan. 3, 2011, require UIFSA Responding state<br />

IV-D agencies to pay for all DNA genetic testing in paternity related cases. Formerly it was the<br />

initiating state that was responsible for shouldering these costs. The Responding state may still<br />

look to a parent for reimbursement of these costs.<br />
