What Are Oklahoma’s Paternity Laws?
When a child is born to unwed parents, the two must take additional steps to establish paternity for the benefit of their child and the protection of their own parental rights.
Oklahoma paternity law offers a few different methods for parents to establish paternity, paternity can be established when:
- A child is born to a married couple, in which case the husband is legally assumed to be the child’s father
- The parents sign an Acknowledgement of Paternity
