Paternity means fatherhood. Establishing Paternity creates a legal relationship between a father and a child. Establishing a legal father for a child provides that child many potential benefits. Some of those benefits include:

• A sense of belonging because the child knows both parents
• If your child becomes sick, the family doctor will appreciate a full family medical history
• Your child may be eligible for government benefits such as social security or veteran's dependent benefits
• Your child may qualify for medical insurance coverage through the father's health plan and could become the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Your child may also have the right to future inheritance benefits
• Your child will become eligible for Financial Support from both parents

Paternity is presumed for children born during a marriage, but must be established in a court of law for children of unmarried parents. Establishing Paternity creates a legal relationship between father and child, and confers all legal rights as if the child were born within a marriage to that father. We also represent clients seeking to disprove Paternity through DNA parentage testing in order to avoid unfairly imposed Child Support obligations. We represent biological fathers seeking proof of Paternity in order to fight for Child Custody. In all cases, we are committed to aggressively protecting our clients' rights and the rights of their children. Contact Us
