Every family law attorney has handled paternity cases in family court, because family law is practiced in family courts.
Family Law attorneys often assist mothers to establish paternity for their children. Establishing paternity means determining the legal father of a child.
A family court may order genetic tests to determine if someone is the legal father of a child or children. Genetic tests are usually performed by swabbing the inside of each person’s cheek. The samples are then sent to the lab for analysis. If paternity is established, family law attorneys can help family members petition family court for child custody or visitation rights.
