Paternity Establishment
A Simple Acknowledgment of Paternity (ASAP)
ASAP is Mississippi’s voluntary paternity establishment program. ASAP makes it possible for parents to establish paternity in hospitals and other birthing facilities, at the State Department of Health, County Health Departments, and the Division of Field Operations.
This procedure carries the same legal effect as if the father and the mother were married at the time between conception and birth. The program allows the father’s name to be added to the birth certificate.
PATERNITY
Paternity means fatherhood. Paternity is in question when a child is born of unmarried parents. If a child’s parents are not married, paternity can be established through voluntary acknowledgment or through court proceedings.
It is important to establish paternity for a myriad of reasons, such as identity, medical history, death, disability and insurance benefits, and support.
It is important for a child to know who he/she is and to feel the sense of belonging that knowing both parents brings.
A child also needs to know if he/she may have inherited any diseases or birth defects. Also, by knowing both parents, this could ensure against marriage between close relatives.
A child should have the right to possible benefits from both parents such as social security, medical and life insurance, as well as veteran’s benefits.
Also, a child has the right to food clothing and a home, which can be better provided when both parents are involved.
Support that is provided by one parent only to a child is often not adequate to meet his/her needs.
Legal paternity can be established while the mother is still in the hospital when both parents sign an acknowledgment of paternity and return it to the hospital staff. There is no fee involved, when the acknowledgment of paternity is filed along with the birth certificate. (To establish paternity upon leaving the hospital, please contact the Division of Field Operations at the Mississippi Department of Human Services.)
If establishment of paternity is involuntary, a petition to establish paternity must be filed with the appropriate court with jurisdiction over the matter.
Establishing paternity is the first step needed in order to ask for visitation privileges. The father will need to seek legal counsel for advice on visitation and, or custody.
Adding a father’s name to the birth certificate
A father’s name will be added to the birth certificate, when he is legally established as the child’s father after completing the acknowledgment form.
If the alleged father refuses to sign the Acknowledgment of Paternity form, the mother can request assistance from the Division of Field Operations at Mississippi Department of Human Services in establishing paternity, and obtaining child support through the court system. There is a $25 fee for this service UNLESS the mother is receiving any state supported benefit such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, (TANF) and, or Medicaid, in which case there is no charge for this service.

Withholding Orders/Notices from Other States

-
-
- Upon receipt, if the Order/Notice appears “regular on its face,” you must honor it.
- You must provide a copy of the Order/Notice to the employee immediately.
- You must begin income withholding and send the payments to the address cited in the Withholding Order/Notice.

- If you comply with these basic requirements, you will not be subject to civil liability to an individual or agency with regard to your withholding of child support from the employee’s income.
-
What is the maximum amount that can be withheld?
For child support income withholdings, the upper limit on what may be withheld is based on the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA). The Federal withholding limits for child support and alimony are based on the following disposable earnings of the obligor (i.
e., the employee):
-
-
-
-
- The Federal CCPA limit is 50 percent of the disposable earnings if the employee lives with and supports a second family, and 60 percent if the employee does not support a second family.
- This limit increases to 55 percent and 65 percent respectively if the employee owes arrears that are 12 weeks or more past due.

Lump Sum Payment Requirements for Employers
Pursuant to Mississippi Code Section 93-11-103(13), employers are required to report lump-sums paid to employees of over $500 to the Department of Human Services if the employer has been served with a withholding order that includes a provision for the payment of arrears. Lump-sums are defined in Mississippi Code Section 93-11-101(l). The employer shall notify the Department of Human Services of its intention to make a lump-sum payment at least 45 days before the planned date of the payment or as soon as the decision is made to make the payment, should that be less than 45 days.
The employer shall not release the lump-sum to the obligor until 30 days after the intended date of the payment or until authorization is received from the Department of Human Services, whichever is earlier. The Department of Human Services shall provide the employer with a Notice of Lien specifying the amount of the lump-sum to be withheld for payment of child support arrears.
To report a lump-sum or for further lump-sum inquiries, please email or fax us at [email protected] or 800-937-8668.
Multiple Child Support Orders for the Same Employee
You must add together the court-ordered current support owed for each order and withhold that amount first. If this amount does NOT exceed the CCPA or appropriate State law, you may withhold additional earnings for any arrears obligation, provided the total amount withheld does not exceed the amount available under the CCPA or appropriate State law.
May we combine child support payments from several employees?
You may send one check for each pay period to cover all child support withholdings for that pay period if they are all to be sent to the Mississippi Department of Human Services, provided you itemize the amount withheld from each employee, the date each amount was withheld, and the noncustodial parent’s social security number.
Is medical insurance required to be provided when the child does not live in the service area?
Yes. By law, medical insurance coverage available to the parent-employee cannot be denied to a child even though:
-
-
-
-
- The child was born out of wedlock and paternity has been established
- The child is not claimed as a dependent on the parent’s income tax return
- The child does not live with the parent
- The child does not live in your insurer’s service area
-
-
-
Under which insurance plan should the child be enrolled?
Enroll the child under the same health benefit plan in which your employee is enrolled. If the employee is offered more than one health plan, the plan chosen by the employee must provide coverage for dependents.
License Suspension ProgramWhat licenses can be suspended?
-
-
-
-
- If the delinquent parent does nothing or can not reach an agreed payment schedule within the 90 day period, then a notice is sent to the license agency to suspend the license.
- If the delinquent parent does nothing or can not reach an agreed payment schedule within the 90 day period, then a notice is sent to the license agency to suspend the license.
-
-
-
-
- NOTE: A suspended license may be reinstated if the payments are made or a payment plan is agreed upon. Failure to pay under the agreement will result in immediate license suspension. Additionally, a judge may order license suspension in any contempt proceeding for failure to pay child support. Also note that any licensed attorney may apply through MDHS for license information in a non-MDHS case.
Due Process
A licensee may request a review by MDHS on issues of correct personal identification and the state of delinquency. License suspensions may be appealed to the Chancery Court.
Mississippi Access & Visitation Program (MAV-P)Mississippi’s Access and Visitation Program (MAV-P) is designed for noncustodial parents to have access to visit their children as specified in a court order or divorce decree. Assistance with voluntary agreements for visitation schedules is provided to parents who have a child support case.

If you have any additional questions, you can personally contact the territorial division of the FSSP. You can make an appointment for a personal appointment through the official website of the bailiff service - fssp.gov.ru.
