You may also enter a paternity action as a defendant against either of these claims. At Slater & Zurz, LLP, our attorneys are experienced in providing strategic and aggressive advocacy to protect the interests of our clients facing paternity disputes.
We offer supportive guidance and aggressive advocacy to protect the rights and interests of our clients facing paternity actions.
Paternity Representation for Men
Men who want to establish paternity of a child for child custody or who want to challenge an allegation of paternity may need legal action. If you are not sure you are the father, it is important to take legal action now to protect your rights. Once you are established as the father by a court, it may be difficult to modify your obligations in the future.
Establishing paternity may be as simple as signing a form or can become complex and require genetic testing. Our attorneys will take the time to explore your rights and options and pursue your objectives in a paternity dispute.
