The notice of a claim of paternity may be filed before the birth of the child but shall be filed within 30 days after the birth of the child.
When a child is born in Colorado to unwed parents, the mother is given sole legal and physical custody. The unmarried father has no custody or visitation rights. The birth of the child does not automatically grant a legitimate parent-child relationship.
In Colorado, the court presumes paternity if the parties are married when the child is born or if an individuals name appears on the birth certificate as the father.
A man must fight his designation as a childs father within 5 years of the childs birth. A child can bring a paternity action, if paternity has not been determined, before the child becomes 21 years old. What are paternity DNA tests?
If the mother or father does not consent to DNA testing as requested by the other parent, the parent desiring the testing may file a motion with the court making this request. If the childs DNA and the fathers DNA do not match, paternity is disproved.

Unless legally barred, Colorado dads have equal rights to see their children as mothers do. You can see your kids according to the agreed-upon visitation schedule and parenting time allocation. Colorado favors joint custody arrangements, where both parents remain present in their childrens lives post-divorce.
An unmarried father has no legal rights to custody or visitation of the child. There is no presumption of paternity. Unwed fathers are not, by default, assumed to be biologically related to their children. Unwed fathers must take steps in order to establish paternity.
Some worry that the court automatically favors mothers over fathers in custody cases. However, this is now simply a myth. Colorado is neither a mom state nor a dad state when deciding on child custody. Its also not an automatic 50-50 parenting time state. Heres how it works.
The most common way of establishing paternity is by naming the father on the babys birth certificate. All states offer parents the opportunity to voluntarily establish paternity either at the hospital or by signing a certificate of paternity at a later date if the father is not present at the birth.
It should be noted here, that a father can file for paternity at any time between birth and the age of 18. However, getting legal paternity status does not automatically entitle a father to any specific rights of visitation, decision-making, or custody. These are matters that will require court actions.
