Title 15 . Revenue
Chapter 125 . (Repealed)
Section 212. Failure to respond to notice in paternity establishment cases

15 AAC 125.212. Failure to respond to notice in paternity establishment cases

(a) Except as provided in (b) and (c) of this section, if the agency serves a putative father with a notice of paternity and financial responsibility under AS 25.27.165 (b) and the putative father fails to file the response required by AS 25.27.165 (c), the agency will consider the failure to be an admission of paternity and will issue a decision establishing the putative father's paternity.

(b) If the agency determines that a putative father who fails to file the response required by AS 25.27.165 (c) is an unemancipated minor or incompetent person, the agency will terminate the administrative establishment of paternity proceeding without making a determination of paternity and will, in its discretion, bring the paternity proceeding in court. In this subsection, "incompetent person" means a person who is mentally or physically incapable of effectively responding to and participating in an administrative matter such as a paternity establishment matter.

(c) If more than one putative father is named in an application submitted under 15 AAC 125.216, the agency will not issue a decision establishing a putative father's paternity on the basis of failure to file a response under (a) of this section unless the agency has issued a decision of nonpaternity under 15 AAC 125.218(e) or 15 AAC 125.222 with regard to all other putative fathers named in the application.
