Lawmart helped me establish paternity and secure custody rights for my son. As an unmarried father, I didn’t know where to start, but their team guided me through every step. Now I have legal recognition as his father and regular visitation that’s protected by the court.
I was only getting every other weekend with my kids, which wasn’t nearly enough. Lawmart fought for me and helped me get a 50/50 custody arrangement. Their attorneys understood that fathers deserve equal time with their children and made it happen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Establish Paternity for My Child?
Paternity can be established through voluntary acknowledgment signed by both parents or through genetic testing ordered by the court. Once paternity is established, you gain legal rights to seek custody, visitation, and decision-making authority for your child.
Do Fathers Have Equal Rights to Custody?
Legally, yes. Courts are required to make custody decisions based on the children’s best interests without gender bias. However, fathers often need strong legal representation to ensure their rights are fully recognized and protected.
Can I Get Joint Custody as an Unmarried Father?
Yes, unmarried fathers can seek joint physical and legal custody once paternity is established. Courts will consider factors like your relationship with the child, living situation, and ability to provide stability.
What Can I Do if the Mother Won’t Let Me See My Child?
If you have established paternity and court-ordered visitation, interference with visitation is contempt of court. We can file motions to enforce your rights and seek remedies including makeup time and sanctions against the other parent.
How Can I Reduce My Child Support Payments?
Child support can be modified when there’s a substantial change in circumstances such as job loss, income reduction, or changes in custody arrangements. You must petition the court for modification – support doesn’t automatically change.
