Des Moines Paternity Law Attorney
A petition to determine paternity of a child may be filed by the mother or the person presumed to be the father. A petition will compel the father to undergo DNA testing to determine the likelihood of paternity.
- Mothers often wish to prove paternity in order to obtain child support from the father.
- A father may wish to file a paternity action in order to disprove paternity or to seek custody or obtain visitation rights and parenting time.
If you are an unmarried parent, it is important that you resolve these issues. If you suspect a child is not yours or are involved in a dispute over paternity of a child and need legal proof of parentage to secure child support, take legal action.
