Paternity

If you have concerns about the paternity of your child, it is important to obtain legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

In some situations, DNA testing may be required—either by agreement between the parties or by order of the Court if one parent is unwilling to cooperate.

Determining the parentage of a child is essential not only for child support obligations but also for establishing parenting arrangements and ensuring the child’s ongoing relationship with each parent.

DNA testing is generally a straightforward process involving non-invasive mouth swabs from the child and the parents. However, the procedure must comply with strict documentation and identification requirements, including photographic identification.
