Parenting comes with a variety of rights and responsibilities, but in order for fathers to enforce their rights or have their responsibilities enforced against them, legal paternity of a child must be established. At the Law Offices of Cherie T. Davis, our Livermore paternity lawyers offer comprehensive advice and aggressive representation to any individuals engaged in a paternity suit.
When a child is born to married parents, the husband is presumed to be the father of the child by law, whether or not he is the biological parent. For individuals who are not married, paternity must be established by the courts. Before a voluntary declaration of paternity is made or a DNA test performed, it is important for all parties to understand their rights.
Paternity: DNA Testing, Child Support And Visitation Rights
At the Law Offices of Cherie T. Davis, we understand the financial and legal ramifications of paternity proceedings. We walk clients through every stage of the process, answering their questions and discussing their concerns so that they can feel comfortable knowing exactly what will come next,
Once paternity is established through DNA testing or other means, we will aggressively advocate on behalf of our clients to ensure that the custody and visitation arrangements reached are in the best interests of the child and that our client is receiving the support he or she needs to provide for the child. As circumstances change, we are available to our clients for advice regarding modification and provide comprehensive representation to protect their rights.
