LACKAWANNA COUNTY PATERNITY LAWYERS

About Paternity & How a Clarks Summit Attorney Can Help

Pennsylvania takes the rights of both fathers and mother seriously, especially in the face of divorce, custody, visitation, and child support. Both parents have right to have a say in their children’s wellbeing, but in some cases paternity is not clear or a DNA test may be necessary to prove a father’s rights and legal obligations.

If you need help with a paternity matter, our Lackawanna County paternity attorney is ready to help. Contact us or give us a call today.

Reasons for Paternity Testing in Family Law

There are a number of reasons that paternity proceedings may be necessary. If, for example, you are going through a divorce, DNA tests may be important in determining essential matters that must be agreed upon before the case can be settled.

In addition, both fathers and mothers can pursue a DNA test for any of the following reasons:

  • To help gain custody or visitation of a child or children
  • To get or contest support payments
  • So children can benefit from a fathers’ medical or financial benefits
  • To determine responsibility and legal obligations
  • To protect children from abuse
