Where paternity of the child is in question, a party may ask the court to determine paternity of one or several possible fathers (called putative fathers) based initially upon sworn statements and then upon testimony or other evidence.
A successful application to the court results in an order assigning paternity to a specific man, possibly including support responsibility and/or visitation rights.
