Please advise,My daughter (4 years old) was born overseas and they got green cards( mother and child).I am a visitor in the US.But we have to get the Court Order for the DNA.My question is can I do the affidavit of paternity as my daughter was born overseas?

My former girl friend, we have a child but does not want me to get the court order DNA for paternity establish and the reason is the tax year claim will be less for her and the food stamp will be reduced as she is working as an hotel housekeeper... is that true... please advise.We are in Washington State

Establishing paternity will not affect tax filings. But you may be required to pay child support to reduce the amount the state pays.

An affidavits of paternity usually requires that the mother sign as well. If you go to court to establish paternity the court will order a test and she will be required to comply.

Agree, it will not effect past year filings, but if you are paying child support, it may effect, but then she will have your support check



Where child resides is the issue, not where born. You will file in court where child is resident
