- Legitimation: The process of legitimation is made to establish the “legal” father of the child in question. You can be the assumed father in the picture, provide all the financial support, and even have your name on the child’s birth certificate… But, you still need to make sure you legitimate your relationship with that child so you have legal rights. Establishing paternity is only one small part of the process. With our dedicated attorneys, we can help you legitimate your child and create your legal rights.
- Paternity: Actions taken by paternity cases can legally protect both the mothers and fathers by giving DNA evidence to establish the actual biological parent-to-child relationship. Sometimes a mother may wish to hold the “assumed” father responsible for child support payments. With this, they can establish paternity to not allow him to not pay for the child support. When it comes to men, it can be helpful to establish paternity to make sure that you are not held responsible for a child that is not yours.
