Our Family Law Practice
Most people associate family law with divorce. Although divorce is an important part of our family law practice, it is not all we do. Our practice includes:
- Divorce
- Child support issues (including enforcement and modifications)
- Visitation (including terminating or preventing unlawful interference)
- Maintenance issues
- Prenuptial / post-nuptial agreements
- Adoption
- Paternity
- Name changes
A Word About Paternity
If you had a child outside of marriage and want to collect child support from the biological father, you must first establish paternity. To do so, you may go to court to order the biological father to submit to paternity testing, which compares the child's and the alleged father's biological markers (DNA). If the markers match, the court will deem the man the child's father, and you may then seek a support order. However, DNA testing can be avoided if the father signed the birth certificate.
If you are the biological father and want to establish a legal relationship, including visitation, with a child you fathered outside of marriage, you can initiate paternity testing. Establishing paternity for children born outside a marriage is also useful in provision of health care insurance coverage for the child.
