Northwest Chicago Suburbs Family and Bankruptcy Law Firm - James M. Kelly
What is Paternity?
Paternity is the legal process that involves determining one's rights with regard to parenting - visitation and support in the case of an child outside of a marriage.
Contact James Kelly to learn more about the important legal steps that need to be taken to protect and preserve your legal rights prior to and following the birth of a child you believe to be yours. Establishing paternity is an important step in your child's future, as well as the future of the father and mother. For instance, as a father you have no right to custody or visitation unless you have established your parental rights, which can be done through a DNA test. On the other hand, if the father is not officially determined then, as the mother of the child, you have the right to claim financial support.
At the Law Offices of James M. Kelly, we can help you establish parental rights. Mr. James M. Kelly has dealt with these issues for many years.
