★ Exam hits:
Family Court has exclusive original jurisdiction over paternity — concurrent with Surrogate's Court (DRL § 111-b).
Time limit: no proceeding after the child turns 21 — unless the father acknowledged paternity in writing or by furnishing support.
Acknowledgment of parentage (§ 516-a): rescind within the earlier of 60 days of signing or the first related proceeding; after that, only by proving fraud, duress, or material mistake of fact.
DNA/genetic test at 95%+ probability = rebuttable presumption of paternity. Moving party pays cost first.
Trial is by the court, NO jury (§ 531); respondent can't be compelled to testify.
Summons served at least 8 days before appearance; relief from a default order within 1 year.
Support runs until the child is 21 (§ 545); order of filiation and support order both contain SSNs.
Non-compliance triggers suspension of driving, professional/business, and recreational licenses (§§ 548-a/b/c).
Clerk transmits the order of filiation (and any abrogation) to the Commissioner of Health (NYC's, if born in NYC).
On any order of protection/TOP, the court must address firearm surrender/license under § 842-a.
