What is paternity acknowledgment?

Paternity acknowledgment is the legal procedure that officially establishes the legal bond between a father and his child. This acknowledgment guarantees fundamental rights such as identity, child support, inheritance, parental authority, and other benefits protected by Costa Rican law.
