A father will often times acknowledge paternity through his actions, behaviors and interactions with the child or children. Deducing that he is the biological father is very easy to deduce. Other times he may sign a written, legally binding document as a means of claiming parentage. Sometimes however establishing paternity is not always so cut and dry. In situations where the actions and behaviors on the fathers part do not demonstrate or acknowledge parentage seeking legal recourse may the only way to establish paternity. This will ideally also benefit the child as well as it will be cared for on various levels.
