In Massachusetts, if you have a child with another person you have similar rights for child support and visitation with the child as though you were once married and divorced. Paternity is established in two ways in Massachusetts:
- A Voluntary acknowledgment process where a legal form is signed by both the Mother and Father acknowledging the child’s paternity; or
- A court process where, the Mother or the man believing to be the Father files a form with the court called a “Complaint to Establish Paternity.”
