THE IMPORTANCE OF PATERNITY RIGHTS

    Establishing paternity is both tremendously delicate and extremely important, bearing immense influence on both the child and parent with regards to educational matters, social and legal benefits, medical affairs, and more. Developing a relationship with your child and having a say in their life is critical to their long-term health, development, and success—and as a father, you are entitled to the same rights as a mother in seeing to their care.
    No matter what your situation is, we recognize the gravity of every paternity case, treating it with the diligence and dedication that your child deserves.

    ESTABLISHING PATERNITY

    Paternity assumptions depend on several factors: marital status and circumstances such as aided reproduction present a myriad of possible situations. In cases where paternity is uncertain, court-authorized genetic testing can provide an evidentiary foundation for deciding paternity disagreements, with meaningful consequences surrounding support, visitation, and other issues.
    Whether you are striving to both prove or invalidate paternity, working with a knowledgeable, experienced attorney is an essential step in protecting the rights and best interests of both yourself and the child.

    SCHEDULE YOUR FREE CONSULTATION

    Paternity law can be complicated, but outcomes have an enormous impact on both yourself and the child, making it vital to fully understand and protect the rights of all parties involved.
