The Importance of Establishing Paternity

If a baby does not have a legal father listed on his or her birth certificate, certain benefits like Social Security, healthcare, and VA payments may not be protected. For parents who are unsure of the true parentage of a child, it is important to pursue paternity testing to determine who the child's father is, especially when legal issues like custody and child support are involved.

It is recommended that individuals visit an accredited laboratory for testing to make sure the test is performed in the correct manner and the samples are treated carefully. If you are facing legal action as a result of a paternity test, contact an experienced Frisco family lawyer of Alexander & Associates at 972-420-6570 today

Benefits of Establishing Paternity

Identifying the true father of a child often provides the following benefits:

• The child will have access to legal benefits like child support, social security, and inheritance
• The child's medical record will reflect a more complete medical history including family history and possible complications
• Bonds can between father and child can be strengthened once paternity is established

Some paternity cases can be very emotionally-charged and may be quite complicated in nature. It is important to have an experienced attorney on your side to make sure your rights are protected in such cases.
