The Known Father Notice Act
An unintroduced draft bill proposes changes to Arizona’s paternity-acknowledgment process, including notice to a man who has already claimed to be the father.
- For
- Arizona parents, lawmakers, and family-law readers
- Worth noticing
- The draft would require notice within ten days of filing and says a father not sent notice could challenge the acknowledgment later.
Field notes
The page separates its proposed amendments from the existing statute, explaining that added language is highlighted and appears in capitals in the draft. It describes two ways someone could qualify as a known father: filing with the state registry or leaving a record of a claim or request for genetic testing. The page also links readers to the current statute on azleg.gov. It states that the proposal has not been introduced and is not law.
