Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

If the father is living in the same household as the child, then (in the PR file) the father's line number (within the same cluster and household) is given by hv114. You can do a merge and attach the father's data to the child's line. If you are working with the KR file, rather than the PR file, and/or if you want to attach the father's data from the MR file, the merges are more complicated, but they can be done.
