At the Law Office of Cheryl Bucker, P.A., our attorney represents both mothers and fathers seeking to establish paternity and exercise their rights as parents. Our office approaches all paternity issues with the best interests of the child (children) in mind.
Our office stresses the importance of establishing paternity not only with the sake of the child (children) in mind, but because the rights and responsibilities of parents are the same whether a child's parents are single, divorced, or married to each other.
It is very important for parties that are not married to each other to establish legal paternity of the child (children), because under Florida law, unless a father establishes legal paternity of his child (children) through the Court, he has no rights to visitation with the child (children). Additionally, a single mother will not be able to collect child support from the father of her child (children) until legal paternity has been established.
In an effort to resolve all paternity issues, our office can arrange for parents to take a DNA test that will establish legal paternity of the child. Either parent can then petition the court for the right to child custody or visitation, and for child support payments.
Whether you need to establish paternity in order to secure the right to see your child (children), resolve disputed custody claims, or collect child support payments, you can rely on Cheryl Bucker, P.A. for quality legal assistance.
