Paternity Suit in Greece

• This service is suitable for individuals in Greece involved in disputes or requiring legal acknowledgment of a child's paternity. 
• It's crucial for unmarried parents, individuals involved in inheritance or custody disputes, or those needing legal confirmation of family relationships.

In Greece, the legal framework regulating paternity tests is designed to ensure that such tests are conducted within a legal and ethical context, primarily focusing on the protection of individual rights and the determination of parentage for family law matters. 

The process necessitates legal documentation and evidence supporting the paternity claim, such as DNA test results. All parties involved must provide accurate and complete information for the proceedings.

The relevant Greek laws include:

1. Civil Code (Astikos Kodikas): The Greek Civil Code provides the legal basis for establishing or contesting paternity. Specifically, Articles 1447 to 1478 deal with the establishment of paternity and the procedures for contesting recognition or claiming paternity. While the Civil Code does not explicitly detail the procedural aspects of DNA testing, it forms the basis for legal actions related to paternity.
2. Code of Civil Procedure (Kodikas Politikis Dikonomias): This code outlines the procedural aspects of legal cases, including those related to paternity. It specifies how evidence can be collected and presented in court, including the admissibility of DNA tests as evidence in paternity cases.
3. Law 3305/2005 on the Application of Medically Assisted Reproduction: Although this law primarily focuses on assisted reproduction technologies, it includes provisions relevant to the genetic testing of individuals, which can encompass paternity testing under certain circumstances.

1. Initial Legal Consultation: Assessing the specifics of the case and advising on legal options.
