This research aims to determine how the regulation of child support influences the process of extramarital filiation. The research question posed is: how does the regulation of child support influence the process of extramarital filiation? The hypothesis suggests that it is unnecessary to resort to child support when an extramarital filiation process can be initiated, allowing the child to access better rights. To address this issue, a qualitative methodology was employed, including an exhaustive review of legal norms, doctrines, and thesis works related to the topic. The main findings indicate that the current validity of child support regulation is inappropriate, as the extramarital filiation process is more adequate and provides better protection of the child's rights. It is concluded that the child support regulation is outdated, as it is based on an old figure that presumes paternity, which can nowadays be easily refuted through a DNA test. In summary, the study suggests the need to update the legislation to reflect a more modern and effective approach in protecting the rights of children in extramarital filiation cases.
