Effective Ways to Establish Paternity in Oregon

In Oregon, paternity can be established in several ways:

• If the couple is married, there is a presumption of paternity.
• If an unmarried couple agrees on the paternity of the child, then they can submit paperwork with the courts to establish paternity.
• If there is a dispute regarding paternity, the court can order genetic testing to verify paternity.

In cases where the father refuses to cooperate with genetic testing despite a court order, the father can be held in contempt of court and subject to penalties.
