Why Establish Paternity?

Paternity legally establishes that a specific man is the father of a child. To determine paternity and parental rights, a legal paternity test is sometimes necessary. When paternity is established, both parents are obligated to contribute to the child’s support. If you need paternity tests to establish your own paternity or the paternity of your child’s father, or if you need to prove that you are not a father, it can be a complex legal process. Have your family law and paternity law questions answered and obtain the legal advice and legal services you need by contacting our experienced paternity lawyer, David P. Schwarz.
