Do you need to establish paternity?

When a child is born, the father establishes paternity by signing an Affidavit of Paternity at the hospital. In the case where the father is not present, or estranged from the mother, the signing might not occur. This lapse could present problems in regard to child support payments and with visitation rights for the father.

We realize there are things that are out of your control, but while you can’t change the past, we’re available to help you manage the present. Engel Law Group is familiar with paternity cases, and we’re ready to assist you in completing this crucial step in your life.

Lawyer for Paternity Actions in Seattle, Washington

The mother of a child looking to establish child support can bring a paternity suit naming the father. In this case, a DNA sample is submitted. Should the results show fatherhood, then child support is his responsibility. We know that your child is precious, and making sure he or she has the financial support needed is important to the team at Engel Law Group.  The same procedure can be followed by a father seeking to win visitation rights to his child.
