Sažetak
This paper is the result of a research conducted on an authentic sample of first-instance paternity proceedings. The first problem it deals with is the practical role of DNA-paternity tests as irrefutable evidence presented to first-instance courts in paternity proceedings. The latter raises the question if the need for providing any other evidence besides DNA-paternity tests still exists. The second problem poses the engagement level of first-instance courts in these proceedings, taking into account indicative data collected from the authentic sample of first-instance paternity proceedings, such as the total number and duration of the proceedings at the first-instance, as well as types of judicial decisions brought by first-instance courts in these proceedings. With this in mind four research theses are explained, as well as the formation of the authentic sample and research methodology, followed by a brief presentation of regulations on paternity issues and the analysis of the data collected from the authentic sample, in order to validate the research theses.
