paternity suits
Daddy determination cases
Paternity suits are legal proceedings to establish whether a man is the biological father of a child.
They typically arise when parentage is disputed or when a mother seeks child support from an alleged father.
DNA testing has made these cases more straightforward than they once were: The paternity suit confirmed he was the father.
