DNA Paternity Justice seek to protect the child’s right to the love and care of both parents through shared parenting of divorced and never married parents, with equal rights and responsibilities for fathers and mothers. We aspire to preserve the family structure through respect, dignity and fatherhood initiatives. 

Father’s absence in the American households has risen greatly in the last four decades and their absence contributes to family poverty and a high cost to taxpayers. In fact, father’s absence coasted the federal government $100 billion a year. “Today, half of all children and 80 percent of African American children can expect to spend at least part of their childhood living apart from their fathers.” 

For this reason we encourage shared or co-parenting and presumption of shared parenting in all divorce matters providing the child with equal accessibility to both parents and the same for non-marital parents. We promote fair and balanced decisions on all family court matters and ask parents to work toward bridging communication gaps though respect while being committed to the well being of their child as they work toward actual results. We promote policies that support the right of alleged fathers to be disestablished in paternity fraud matters based on DNA testing, while ensuring, where possible that biological fathers support their own children.

Above all, we must improve fairness in the areas of child custody, child support and parenting time. And, no  "Male" should be responsible for the support and maintenance of another man's child, even if he has signed an affidavit of paternity in an attempt to do the right thing by acknowledging a child as his own not being aware that he is not the biological father

As a result, family courts must make their decisions based on facts and hard-core evidence rather than beliefs, speculations or subjective evidence. And, no we are not in agreement with a 500 years old English common law doctrine that presumes a child born during a marriage is the biological child of the woman’s husband and when in realization the husband may not be the biological father of his wife’s child. Paternity fraud is unacceptable and children need both of their parents.
