When a child is born outside of marriage and the parents are together, the assumed father is asked to execute an affidavit of paternity at birth. These signed documents are binding to both parties, and will have major consequences in terms of child custody and support.
Most people do not fully understand the implications of what they are signing. Once these paternity papers have been signed, the father assumes responsibilities for support, reimbursement for medical care of the mother, support for the mother's pregnancy, and confinement.
Parent Rights
Both parents have the right to custody and visitation regardless of whether they were married. Both parents are entitled to be active participants in parenting, and if there are two people fit to be parents, either or both may have custody. We can make sure your parental rights are protected, so you have the chance to be an active part of your child's life in a paternity action.
