With advances in DNA science, a positive paternity test result is recognized by courts as proof in a paternity action. If you have questions about paternity tests or fathers' rights and obligations, contact the attorneys at our law firm.

  • When unmarried parents separate, there may be a dispute about visitation, child support and other issues. Legitimation of parentage can ensure the father's right to pursue visitation rights or custody. It can also protect the child's interests by requiring the father to pay child support.
  • When a baby is born outside of wedlock, it is important to establish paternity with a paternity test. The child can then have the support of a father. The father will have an obligation to pay child support and the right to visit the child and have a father-child relationship. Legitimation is important for financial support and for the child's well-being.
  • The attorneys at Abbott & Abbott care very much about children and will help you when you are acting in the best interest of a child. Establishing paternity so that there is no doubt of a child's parentage is always in the best interest of the child.
