Jacksonville Divorce and Family Law LawyersPaternity
Paternity cases typically arise when a child is born to unmarried parents. In some cases the identity of the biologicalfather is not known. A paternity action involves many of the same issues as a dissolution of marriage involving minor children, including parental responsibility, child support and time-sharing, and the issues can become quite complex and confusing if you are attempting to do it yourself.
In most cases, there are three types of clients in paternity disputes:
• a mother who is trying to identify the father for child support or other purposes
• an alleged father who denies relation to the child and claims no responsibility
• a man who claims to be the father and is seeking parental rights
We represent both fathers and mothers and will help you with paternity issues such as:
• paternity testing
• development of a Parenting Plan with a time-sharing schedule
• child support
• child support enforcement
• parental responsibility
