The Utah Paternity Lawyers and Parentage Lawyers at Just Law
Paternity is also referred to as fatherhood, but the reason for this process is not just to determine the father. If parents are not married, paternity is considered when establishing custody and visitation rights through what may also be called a parentage action. Establishing paternity is a necessary step for unmarried couples to determine custody and support of their children. In addition to custody and child support, establishing paternity can allow children to take advantage of legal rights associated with the father such as:
- Access to family medical records
- Citizenship
- Social Security and veteran's benefits
- Inheritance
- Child support
- Health insurance
- Physical custody
- Legal custody
There are a variety of ways to establish paternity; the parents, the child or the state can file a legal action to conduct genetic testing, the parents can sign a voluntary declaration of paternity or a court can enter a parentage order establishing paternity. Our law firm has experience handling contentious cases of paternity, and we know how to effectively use legal action to protect the rights of your child.
We look forward to speaking with you. You are under no obligation to hire our law firm.
