Paternity

Just as in a divorce, unmarried parents of a child have to determine child support obligations, custody and parenting time (visitation).

Paternity means a legal recognition of the parental relationship between a father and child. The father may initiate a paternity action to gain custody or parenting time. The mother or the state may initiate this action to ensure financial support for the child. Whether you’re a mother or a father, we offer advice in establishing your rights and the rights of your child.
