Once paternity is established, individuals have to fulfill certain responsibilities toward their children. These responsibilities include supporting their children financially and emotionally.

This duty has implications for a divorce because it gives both parents the right and obligation to take care of their children. This means that one parent cannot take away visitation rights if the other parent refuses to pay child support, and vice versa. When these type of problems occur, individuals should allow courts to resolve their issues and not take actions like refusing visitation.
