Implicaciones socio - jurídicas del reconocimiento de paternidad voluntario ante el ICBF en el Municipio de Pamplona en los años 2019 -2020.

Abstract

Voluntary recognition is an act by which the presumed father of a child or adolescent appears before the administrative authority to formally declare paternity with respect to that minor, without the need for any prior lawsuit. It also applies when the recognition is made through a will or when the presumed father is summoned by the parent or a request from the Notary or Registrar to carry out said recognition. In Colombia, voluntary recognition is not so common since men know the monetary obligations that this entails, and even the majority of people do not know that it can be done voluntarily through an administrative authority such as the Family Commissioner, notary or the ICBF and that the procedures are not so complicated so they choose to wait for the medre to cite them to recognize their children; Therefore, it is important to review the procedures carried out in entities such as the ICBF and the social factors that surrounded this legal and social phenomenon. In this descriptive character with a socio-critical paradigm of a qualitative nature, research will be analyzed through bibliographic and normative review, in addition to data collection through in-depth interviews with specialists, voluntary recognition in Pamplona, its practice, procedures and factors, in addition to the evolution of the legal figure in the national order and in other countries.
