In child support cases, before support
can be ordered or collected, paternity of the
child must be proven in a court of law, unless the father
voluntarily admits paternity.
Proof of paternity is constituted either by voluntary
signature, a judge’s decision, or the fact that the mother was
married to the man either before or after the child is born.
If a
man refuses to admit to fathering a child and the
mother decides to take him to court, it is advised for her to
acquire the services of a paternity law attorney to
protect both her legal rights and the rights of the child
or children involved.
Every child has the right to be supported by both parents. When
a child's paternity is being questioned by the biological father,
paternity
proceedings are essential to establish, as a matter of legal record,
the child's biological father in order to seek child support.
An experienced
child paternity attorney always strives to ensure the legal
process goes without major complications.
