Whether you are a Mother or Father seeking child support or a biological parent who wants to establish child support, a time-sharing and parenting plan, including visitation rights, the establishment of paternity of the minor child(ren) is required. A determination of Paternity is simply a court determination that an individual is the natural parent of a minor child. Issues involving children of unmarried couples are handled very similarly to the custody issues presented in a divorce, but you must establish paternity before the issues pertaining to custody and support may be resolved. Any legal arrangements can be made. The laws governing paternity where the parents are not married are different than those connected with a divorce or marital relationship.

Our mission is to achieve our client's objectives by painting a clear picture of their parental rights and responsibilities, so they can maintain a meaningful parental relationship with their children.
