PATERNITY
Paternity cases in the state of Indiana arise most often when a child is born out of wedlock. As an experienced family law attorney, I can help you initiate or respond to paternity proceedings, whether you are the father or the mother.
Understanding Paternity
Under Indiana law, a child’s father is required to provide financial support. He also has the right to request custody and/or visitation with the child. However, if the parents were not married, paternity must be established legally before any of these rights or responsibilities can be enforced. These proceedings are necessary whether or not the identity of the father is in dispute.
How I Can Help
If you are a mother or father hoping to establish paternity, I can guide you through the process step-by-step. If you are responding to paternity proceedings, I can help you understand how this case will affect you and the options currently available. Once paternity has been established, I can also help with other related matters, including child custody and child support.
