The establishment or disestablishment of paternity will greatly impact any family law matter. If you are a father seeking custody of your child or a mother attempting to prove that the person seeking custody is or is not your child’s legal father, contacting an Arizona family attorney at Genesis Family Law and Divorce Lawyers can help you address this situation. It is our goal to help you obtain a definitive answer regarding your paternity case. An objective and rational standpoint allows us to approach your case with the right attitude and therefore have a better chance at a swifter, more successful outcome. Court procedures in establishing or disestablishing paternity can be highly complex and the right attorney can assist in navigating through this difficult situation.
According to The Judicial Branch of Arizona, any case where the court is making legal orders about the identity of a child’s parents is referred to as a parentage or paternity test. If parents are married when a child is born, parentage is normally not even a question; however, things are not always that simple. When a child is born with unmarried parents or if there is a question of fidelity, many questions may arise. Establishing parentage means more than just bringing peace of mind; it means help for determining important legal issues such as custody, visitation rights, and even child support. It also means that the child will have access to his or her family’s medical records and history, access to health and life insurance coverage, and more.
There are three ways that you can establish the parentage of a child:
If you are looking to establish parentage, and you believe that filing a case with the court is your best option, we encourage you to contact an attorney from our firm. With more than 20 years of experience, we have handled these cases before and we know the steps to take. Call us today if you have any more questions.
Paternity is a term used to define the state or condition of being a father. Paternity more frequently comes into question with unmarried couples who have a child together, but these matters may also arise in married couples in the event of a divorce or legal separation. In any event, by filing a Petition to Establish Paternity, either a mother or father can begin the legal action of establishing legal paternity for their child. Issues involving paternity may be resolved in or out of the courtroom. Either way, having a competent family lawyer at your side can go a long way in ensuring that your rights and interests are protected in these legal actions. If you want to schedule a consultation with one of the best paternity lawyers in Arizona, give us a call today.
