Paternity and Legitimation

​

Although the law recognizes no difference between fathers and mothers in custody decisions, the reality is that some courts tend to favor mothers in matters of family law. This is especially true when children are younger or the parents never married; fathers must prove that they belong in the picture.

Our attorneys will vigorously assert your rights relating to:

​

• Custody determination in divorce

• Paternity actions and child support

• Establishing legitimation and parental rights

• Enforcement of visitation rights and parenting plans
