How to resolve a Paternity Case under Colorado Law
The father can either move to disavow paternity or make an admission of paternity.
In these cases, the court can order the mother, father, and child to send a DNA testing to confirm that the man is the biological father of the child.
Once paternity is established, either party may request that the Court address the issues such as:
- Child support
- Health insurance
