Paternity

A determination of paternity can lead to Family Law issues including Child Custody and parenting time and Child Support.

DNA testing is frequently used to determine paternity and a paternity order entered against a Father will impose a Child Support obligation.

Establishing paternity is generally handled by the Family Court. Once paternity is established, the Family Court has the power to award child support and determine custodial rights.

Paternity may be established by a written document called an acknowledgement which is filed with the birth registrar. If the mother was married to another man during her pregnancy or when the child was born, the alleged father must establish paternity through the Court as the husband is the presumed father.

When either parent, the mother or alleged father, contests paternity, the Family Court may take jurisdiction over the case. The mother or father can file a petition in court and a Family Court Judge will determine paternity.

REVIEWS   
My marriage was over. I was afraid and unfamiliar with what was to come. We met and you were honest, very familiar with the law, and made me feel relaxed. You stood by my side and got me through it. Now I can start my life over. I highly recommend your firm to anyone who needs an attorney.

Sincere Appreciation,
