Establish Paternity
Whichever party that is seeking to establish paternity is responsible for the costs. If your child has already developed a relationship with the potential father, he may still be held responsible for child support, even if he is found not to be the father. That is because he has held himself out to the court to be the father of the child. Essentially, it is almost always in the best interest of the child to continue a relationship with the parent that has held himself out to be the father.
Paternity is a very emotional process. I will be there every step of the way to help guide you through the entire process. While there are a number of ways to establish paternity, the most common and accepted way is through DNA testing. This is done by receiving a DNA sample from the mother, child and potential father.
