Establishing Paternity for Your Child
A child's paternity may need to be established for a number of reasons: Unmarried parents may decide to end their relationship after the birth of a child. A step-parent may wish to purse legal adoption. A question of paternity may be raised in divorce when child support and custody issues are raised.
The focus of a paternity case is to determine the identity of a child's father. Today's DNA testing can accurately determine and establish parentage in a family law case.
As your legal counsel, we are able to assist you through the process of a paternity action. Following test results we will aid you in pursing appropriate custodial and child support agreements, or defending against unreasonable demands for custody and support.
