Oregon Paternity

Either parent or the child’s legal guardian may initiate the proceeding to establish paternity. Paternity is presumed when the child is born during marriage. The proceeding can be initiated before or after the child’s birth. If the child is born to unmarried parents, paternity must be established before child support, custody, and parenting time can be awarded.
