I know from experience that parenting is the toughest job there is and being a single parent can be even tougher. In addition to the responsibility for one’s child, an unmarried parent may often find themselves in conflict with the child’s other parent. If you are a single parent, you might need legal help in understanding your rights, especially when it comes to the complexities of paternity law.
In addition to dealing with paternity disputes (for example, the identity of the child’s father is in question), an experienced family law attorney can help with other issues such as child support and time-sharing. The issues may be more complex when one of the parents lives outside of the state. A long distance parenting and time-sharing plan should be put in place to assure that your child has the love and presence of both parents throughout their lives.
If you are a single parent in need of help with paternity issues, contact my office for a consultation. The paternity laws are complex. You may need an experienced family attorney on your side.
