Paternity is an issue closely related to child support, child custody and visitation. A man who is the legal father of a child has rights and responsibilities in regard to his child. He has the right to seek custody or visitation rights, and he has the obligation to protect the welfare of the child by paying child support to the mother, if she is the custodial parent.
