Paternity Attorneys in Florida
In Florida, there is a presumption that a child born or conceived to a married couple is the child of both parents. However, that presumption can be overcome. Further, no such starting point exists for a father when a child is born out of wedlock. Whether you are (i) facing a paternity suit, (ii) seeking to establish paternity, (iii) engaged in another matter involving child support, child custody, and/or visitation, or (iv) contesting an adoption, you need an attorney who will safeguard your rights and protect your interests.
Our law firm has experience in matters involving paternity and will devise a strategy right for you.
If you are trying to establish paternity in order to formalize the relationship between you and your child, establish paternity in order to ensure that the father contributes to the child's well-being, or disestablish paternity in order to clear the way for the child to find his or her true parent, call us for a free consultation.
Call (813) 443-4634 or (866) 719-7570 to speak with an experienced Tampa attorney or contact us by email.
Establishing Paternity
If you are seeking to secure your rights as a father, you need representation that will formulate a strategy for success. At Richard J. Mockler, P.A., we believe that there is nothing more precious than the relationship between a child and his or her parent, and we will work to protect that relationship. Our experienced attorneys will sit with you and explain the various steps that need to be taken for the law to recognize your bond with the child, and we will advocate on your behalf to the court.
Establishing The Paternity Of An Uncooperative Father
You know who fathered your child, but he refuses to accept the responsibilities of fatherhood. There are ways to get the law to recognize that relationship through legal proceedings and genetic testing. Once paternity is established, the father will likely be obligated to contribute to your child's expenses, including food, clothing, and education. When you retain the services of our law firm, we will utilize the most innovative approaches to establish the father's paternity.
Disestablishing Paternity
If you know or believe that you are not a child's father, and the mother has filed a paternity suit against you, you need effective representation. Our law firm will work to prevent you from being saddled with lifetime expenses for a child that is not yours. Contact us today for a free consultation.
