Paternity

Paternity is an important issue in determining parent responsibilities, such as child support and child custody. It is most often an issue when a child is born outside of marriage and a father is not named on the child’s birth certificate. Father’s have rights to their children, too, and determining paternity is the first step in securing an active role in your child’s life.

At Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Schoenau, PLC, we recognize that every paternity situation is different. Sometimes a mother needs to know who the father of her child is so that she can receive the support she needs to raise a child. Other times, a father desperately wants to know if a child is his so that he knows what his responsibilities to the child are. No matter what your circumstances, the Phoenix attorneys at Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Schoenau, PLC are prepared to help you understand the law as it applies to your situation and help you get the answers you need.
