What are the benefits of establishing paternity?

When the Father Denies Paternity

As of October 1989, anyone involved in a contested paternity case must submit to genetic testing. If the accused father is served and fails to respond to the complaint against him, a default judgment will be entered in court establishing paternity. At the same time, a court order for support may be issued.
