Paternity Services for Mothers and Fathers / Alleged Fathers
Mothers and fathers have different concerns in paternity matters. Our law firm can address your varied concerns as they relate to paternity:
- Child support
- Mothers - Are you seeking child support from the father of your child? A paternity test can legally establish the identity of a father. After paternity is established, a mother can enforce child support payments.
- Fathers / alleged fathers - Are you being forced to make child support payments when the paternity of the child is still in question? Establishing paternity may be an option to free you from unnecessary child support payments, and allow you to seek rights as a father.
- Child custody
- Mothers - Having close and continuing contact with both parents is considered a positive approach to raising a child when parents are not married. If you are looking to establish paternity so your child can have a relationship with his or her father, we can explain your legal options.
- Fathers / alleged fathers - If you are seeking custody or visitation rights and you are not married to the mother of your child, it may be necessary to take a paternity test to establish paternity. Once you are legally established as the father, you can seek custody and visitation rights.
