What you Need to Know About Paternity Rights
When a child is born to unmarried parents, it has an effect on parental responsibility. For example, unmarried fathers are not automatically named on a child’s birth certificate. This can affect your legal rights and responsibilities if you are a father or suspected father.
Our family law team can guide you through the process of confirming legal paternity, whether that’s through an agreement, DNA testing, or a court application.
We’ll help you understand your options, ensuring that your actions align with the best interests of your child and avoid unnecessary conflict where possible.
