In child support cases, before support can be ordered or collected, paternity of the child must be proven in a court of law, unless the father voluntarily admits paternity.

Proof of paternity is constituted either by voluntary signature, a judge’s decision, or the fact that the mother was married to the man either before or after the child is born.

If a man refuses to admit to fathering a child and the mother decides to take him to court, it is advised for her to acquire the services of a paternity law attorney to protect both her legal rights and the rights of the child or children involved.

Every child has the right to be supported by both parents. When a child's paternity is being questioned by the biological father, paternity proceedings are essential to establish, as a matter of legal record, the child's biological father in order to seek child support.

An experienced child paternity attorney always strives to ensure the legal process goes without major complications.
