Sacramento Paternity Lawyer
The father of a child has the responsibility to provide for the support of that child. He may or may not have custody or visitation rights, though in some cases it may be possible to obtain those rights.
At the Law Office of Maida V. Farrar, we represent women and men in matters involving paternity. We help mothers legally establish who the father of their child is, for the purposes of obtaining child support. We also represent men who wish to obtain visitation rights or who seek to challenge a paternity action against them.
Call us at 916-660-5413 for a free consultation. Maida V. Farrar can discuss the legal issues in your case and what we can do to help you achieve your goals.
Representing Mothers
There are two ways to legally establish paternity:
- The father may voluntarily sign an affidavit affirming that he is indeed the father
- A court-ordered DNA test which establishes or disproves the paternity of a particular man
Our firm has represented numerous mothers in these types of actions, and can represent you. In most cases, a paternity action is routine and can be accomplished in a timely manner. After the paternity of the father has been legally established, we can take action to obtain child support and pre-natal expenses.
Representing Men
Maida V. Farrar can also advise and represent men regarding paternity, and related matters such as father's rights, child visitation and child support. A man who is legally declared the father of a child may be able to obtain child visitation rights if the court determines this is in the best interest of the child. Ms. Farrar can advise and represent you in this matter.
Our firm represents men in situations where they are subject to an existing child support order, but have reason to believe that they are not the biological father of the child. If a paternity test shows that the man is not really the father, it may be possible to get the child support order lifted.
