Why Establishing Paternity is Important

Establishing paternity has significant legal, financial, and emotional benefits for all parties involved. For a child, it provides a sense of identity and access to financial support, medical history, inheritance rights, and benefits such as health insurance or Social Security. For parents, paternity establishes clear legal rights and responsibilities, including custody, visitation, and child support obligations.

Finding Comfort through the Uncertainty

In cases where paternity is contested, genetic testing provides a reliable method to establish or disprove biological parenthood. DNA tests are highly accurate and can be ordered by the court when paternity is questioned. At Richardson Law Firm, we assist clients with navigating the court process, including requesting genetic testing and representing their interests in paternity disputes.
