Paternity

The emotional and financial implications involved in paternity issues can be extremely complex and inflammatory, often occurring at a time in your life when your focus needs to be on your child and family. Hughes & Sullivan's legal experts are an ideal choice for both mothers and fathers seeking to establish paternity, as well as those interested in refuting paternity claims.

We understand the full range of paternity issues that arise in today's society. These may include establishing paternity, securing child support, custody or visitation, same sex relationships, and the rights of unwed fathers. We will help guide you through the discovery process (including DNA testing when applicable), all legal proceedings, and the documentation process.

The Hughes & Sullivan team also has the capability of following up effectively with the parental rights issues that arise once paternity is established. We have the personal and professional skills to be responsive to your needs and the needs of your children during an extraordinarily sensitive and trying time.
