A: No, the biological father does not have any rights to the child if he is not on the birth certificate in Tennessee. If the fathers name is not on the birth certificate, he must go through the court system to establish paternity. Once paternity is established, he can assume rights to the child.
If a child is born to unmarried persons and there is no COURT ORDER identifying a father, Tennessee law states that the mother automatically has both legal and physical custody of the child. In order for a potential father to have any custody/visitation rights to a child, there MUST be a COURT ORDER.
In Tennessee, a complaint to establish paternity may be filed in the county where the father resides, the county where the mother resides, or the county in which the child resides or is present when the application is made.
HB 2698 by *Parkinson Paternity - As introduced, clarifies that a party to a civil or criminal proceeding in which the paternity of a child is at issue may voluntarily seek a genetic test from an accredited laboratory before a court issues an order requiring the genetic test.
