Paternity

Issues involving paternity can be extremely emotional and sensitive to all parties involved and affect the future of both parents and children. Paternity is established by determining who a child’s father is. Mothers are always recognized as a parent by the law, however, if a mother and father are not married at the time of birth, the law only recognizes the father if paternity is legally established. Paternity is important because it gives your child the rights and benefits of children born to married parents including financial support from both parents.
