Preserve Your Parenting Rights Legally | St. Charles Paternity Attorney
Whether you are a mother who needs her child's biological father to pay child support or a father who wants to assert his role in his child's life, it is important that you establish the child's paternity.
Establishing paternity can be contentious, but is not necessarily difficult. It can be done through a simple court procedure after proving parenthood of the child, through:
- Marriage to the primary parent
- A signed admission of parentage
- Legal adoption
- Proof of biological parenthood through DNA testing
Once you have established that you are legally a child's parent, you can pursue visitation rights and influence important decisions that affect the child, including where he or she will live or go to school.
If you wish to legally establish your child's paternity, it is important not to waste time. Waiting can make it more difficult for you to succeed with your claims.
