PATERNITY ACTIONS

Establishing paternity can be an important issue in family law. Not only does the establishment of paternity have legal ramifications, it can also impact the health and well-being of children involved. Usually fathers voluntarily establish paternity at birth. There can be situations where a mother or the state moves to establish paternity through testing or other means. It is here that we at the Law Office of Raleigh D. Kalbfleisch can help.

A father may seek to establish paternity to exercise his rights as a parent. So then, with those rights comes the responsibility of providing financial support for the child. A mother may seek to establish a father’s paternity to force the father to be financially responsible for the child. That child may benefit, not only financially but may also gain important information regarding their health from their father’s history.

We can help you through the process of establishing paternity voluntarily or involuntarily. Contact us at the Law Office of Raleigh D. Kalbfleisch and discuss your case.
