Children deserve to know who they are. - Fathers deserve the right to parent their children.
At the Law Office of April O'Brien, Chtd. in Las Vegas, our lawyers help clients legally determine paternity – biological fatherhood. Every child should know who his or her father is. Every father should be involved in his child’s life, and contribute to his child’s support. Legal paternity may entitle the child to financial benefits beyond monthly support payments or help with the cost of pre-natal care for the child’s mother. The child may be entitled to Social Security benefits, insurance benefits, or a portion of an inheritance. A legal father has parental rights, including regular visitation.
Are you wondering how to file for paternity? Contact our firm to find out how to get a solid, legal decision about fatherhood. There are do-it-yourself, over-the-counter, or Internet paternity tests, but these are not accepted by the State of Nevada. Our lawyers will file a complaint for paternity, asking the court to order a man to take a legal paternity test. We will refer you to a reputable laboratory to arrange testing.
Paternity actions may be filed to resolve contested paternity within a marriage as well as to determine the parentage of a child born out of wedlock. Our family law attorneys are committed to protecting the rights of our clients. If you need help in determining the legal paternity of your child, contact our Las Vegas law office and make arrangements to consult with an attorney.
