Paternity

Establishing paternity is critical to obtaining legal rights to a child as well as financial support that the child may be entitled to receive. Unmarried fathers do

not automatically have custodial rights over their children and must seek a court order to establish legal recognition of their rights. Paternity determinations

are also important for unmarried mothers who seek to obtain child support for their children.

The firm can represent clients who seek to either assert their paternity rights or deny paternity in the event they are required to defend against a paternity or

child support action regarding a child who is not biologically their own. Whether the context of the paternity issue involves child custody, parenting time, or

child support, the firm can help clients navigate through the process.
