The reasoning behind the petition has already been established.

Quote:
A paternity suit is brought when a Court order is needed to identify the father of a child. This legal action allows the court to order child support and make orders about parenting time. Paternity issues may arise under some of the following circumstances:
When the child is born to unmarried people and the mother is seeking child support;
When the child is born to unmarried people and the state is seeking current or past due child support;
When the child is born to unmarried people and the man is seeking to prove that he is the father of that child.
Doesn’t signing a birth certificate take the place of a paternity action?
Having the father sign a birth certificate is one of the things that creates a presumption of paternity. However, a court action is still needed so that agreements or Court orders about child support and parenting time can be made and enforced.
