Riverside Paternity Lawyer

Resolving Paternity Issues in Riverside

Paternity refers to the biological relationship between a child and his/her male parent, and it is an issue that usually arises after parents have decided to end their relationship. When parents decide to break up, and they have a child or children together, several things must be addressed such as child support, child custody, and visitation. In most cases, before these issues can be reviewed and decided upon, the paternity of the child must be proven. This is where a Riverside family law attorney can step in and offer valuable guidance and help.

Choosing the Right Family Law Attorney for Your Riverside Paternity Case

Child paternity can be determined through DNA testing. DNA testing is usually conducted through the examination of blood and/or saliva. If a male participates in a paternity test, and it is determined that he is the father, he will be entitled to certain parental rights. Additionally, he will also have to take on certain parental responsibilities, such as providing for the safety and financial security of the child.

If you have questions about how to establish paternity or contest allegations that you are a child's father, please call our offices and set up a preliminary consultation. We can talk to you about your options and your rights in order to help you make the right choices about your case.
