Nothing happen's but the child will live with the tag of "father unknown" for the rest of their life. Paternity is presumed if the parents were married at the time of the child's birth. If the parents were not married, paternity can also be established by signing an acknowledgment of paternity or/and by genetic testing (DNA).
