Establishing paternity provides the child with a legal father. Both fathers and mothers have a right toknow about their child and they have a responsibility to care for their child even if they are not mar-ried to each other. Children who have a dad in their life have fewer behavioral problems, do better inschool, and have higher self-esteem than those without fathers in their lives.
