Paternity Cases

Lake Oswego Paternity Lawyer

When a child is born out of wedlock, establishing paternity is necessary to create a legal parent and child relationship. Along with the relationship comes the right to child custody and visitation, as well as the obligation to pay child support. The Hohbach Law Firm is dedicated to standing beside unwed mothers and fathers in paternity cases. We can help you see that your parental rights are acknowledged and observed.

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.
