While both parents may acknowledge paternity and maternity, if there is any doubt now or likely to be doubt in the future, parentage needs to be legally determined.

• Most parentage actions involve establishing paternity. In some cases there may be a need to establish maternity.
• As a father, by establishing paternity, you can assure your rights to parenting time including visitation and the opportunity to primary residential custody. Paternity also obligates the father to support the child financially.
• If you are the mother of a child and need to establish paternity, our lawyers can explain the process and your rights. We can also work with you and the father to establish a parenting plan (residential schedule) and child support.
