Paternity

Representing Children’s Rights

Establishing paternity can secure legal protections for children, as well as mothers and fathers

Most matters of paternity involve unmarried parents and regard issues of child support, parental rights and adoption. At Mulyk Laho Law, we represent mothers, fathers and grandparents in issues of paternity and related family law matters. From our office in Glen Ellyn, we handle case in DuPage, Cook, Kane, Will and Kendall counties.

Many paternity cases revolve around a mother seeking to determine paternity of her child in order to obtain a parentage decree. A parentage decree has a broad impact on a child’s life including securing insurance coverage, the right to inherit and financial support while the child is a minor.

Navigating Paternity and Support Cases with Confidence

 

Navigating Parentage and Support Cases with Confidence

At Mulyk Laho Law, our attorneys specialize in representing mothers and children to secure the financial support they are legally entitled to. We also work with fathers seeking to establish their legal relationship with their children, a critical step in obtaining rights such as custody and visitation. Whether you’re seeking financial assistance or establishing your parental role, our firm provides the expertise and support needed to navigate these challenging cases. Our primary goal is to ensure that both parties’ rights are protected and that the child’s best interests remain the central focus throughout the process.

Court-Ordered DNA Testing in Parentage Cases

In many parentage cases, proving the biological relationship is a key step, and court-ordered DNA testing is often necessary. Our team assists clients in obtaining the legal orders required to compel this testing. DNA testing provides essential evidence to establish parentage, a crucial factor in legal decisions concerning child support, custody, or visitation. At Mulyk Laho Law, we guide clients through this process, ensuring that all legal steps are properly handled. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and work closely with you to ensure you feel supported and informed during every step of the proceedings.

Securing Financial Support and Parenting Rights

Once parentage is established, the legal process shifts toward determining appropriate financial support and parenting rights. For mothers, this means securing child support to ensure their child’s financial needs are met. For fathers, establishing legal parentage allows for the opportunity to obtain custody or visitation rights. At Mulyk Laho Law, we advocate for our clients, helping them secure the financial support and parental rights they deserve. Our attorneys handle every aspect of these cases, from negotiations to court appearances, to ensure the best possible outcome for both the parents and the child involved.
