Paternity cases protecting the rights of the fathers
We are experienced in fathers' rights and paternity actions. If you are an alleged father and want to disestablish paternity, we can help you seek a court ordered paternity test. We can also assist you in signing a recognition of parentage so that you can establish your rights to parenting time or visitation. Fathers not married to the mother of their child likely do not have rights until they start a paternity action.
Mothers Rights, Child Support and Paternity
Mothers with children or unborn children have a definite interest in the paternity process. You may want to establish paternity for the purposes of child support. It is important to work with an experienced attorney who can protect your immediate and future rights. These cases can be complex and your actions will have legal consequences. We can represent your rights in both a paternity case and any case involving support or visitation.
Paternity and Divorce Proceedings
If a couple is married it's presumed that the child is the husband's. If you are separated and facing divorce, it is important to establish the paternity of the child before the divorce is finalized, otherwise the child will be presumed to be the husband's, even if both agree that it is not. Our attorneys can help you protect your rights during a divorce and in paternity actions related to your divorce.
