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.
When acknowledgment cannot be made voluntarily or there is disagreement between the parties, it may be necessary to resort to legal action to determine parentage. At SAP Legal, we provide strategic advice throughout the entire process, protecting the child's rights and offering solutions with absolute confidentiality.
