FAMILY LAW
Challenge to Paternity in Costa Rica
When legal parentage does not reflect the biological or legal reality, it may be challenged through the appropriate judicial proceedings.

What is a Paternity Challenge?
A paternity challenge is the judicial process through which a court is asked to determine whether legally established parentage should remain in effect or be set aside when there are sufficient legal grounds and supporting evidence.
This process protects both the rights of the parents and the best interests of the child, seeking to ensure that legal parentage reflects both the legal and biological reality.
