State law
Paternity law in Illinois.
Illinois follows the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015 (750 ILCS 46). The Act recognizes paternity established through marriage, voluntary acknowledgment, or court order. Voluntary Acknowledgments of Paternity (VAP) are filed with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Genetic testing under §405 may be ordered by a court or requested by any party. Results from AABB-accredited laboratories are admissible in all Illinois family courts. Challenges to a VAP must be filed within 60 days of signing or before any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the child, whichever is earlier.
