Lake Oswego Paternity Lawyer
When a child is born out of wedlock, it is important to establish paternity through the court system. With the establishment of paternity, the legal rights and consequences of both parents are also established and become a lawful order of a court. This gives peace of mind to both parent, as both will know the parameters of custody, parenting time, and child support, which can all be tailored to meet the individual needs of each parent and the child.

Paternity can be established in two ways. The first way is by a parent simply providing written acknowledgment and filing it with the birth registrar. This method is efficient and effective, and it creates a legal parental relationship with all the rights and obligations that come with it.
The second way is typically used when a parent wants to dispute paternity. When this happens, a judicial proceeding can be initiated to establish paternity. This process may involve a paternity test, which can include DNA testing.
After establishing paternity, our law firm can help you with child custody and child support matters. Whether you wish to work with the other parent to develop a mutually agreed-upon parenting plan or your case needs to be taken into the courtroom, we will be by your side.
