Jacksonville Paternity Lawyer

Paternity Actions

Paternity actions are filed in an effort to assist parents in acknowledging and protecting visitation, custody, and support rights. Women who are pregnant or who have children, men who have reason to believe they are the father of a child, and children who wish to determine paternity where it has not previously been established can all file paternity actions. Once paternity is established, the court will be better equipped to determine custody, payment of child support, and visitation arrangements.

If you are a father who is wishing to prove or disprove paternity for the purposes of child custody, visitation, or support in Jacksonville or a surrounding area, you will need to seek legal representation from an attorney who is experienced handling paternity actions.  Jacksonville fathers’ rights lawyer Scott R. Ellerin knows what measures to take in cases such as these and he will effectively guide you through the process in order to reach a satisfactory resolution.
