Paternity Issues

Austin Area Paternity Lawyers

The birth of a child can be an unexpected event, and many times the paternity of a child can be a contested issue. These suits often involve DNA testing to determine the biological father. Generally, persons who may file a paternity lawsuit are restricted to the mother, the man claiming to be the father, or a child of legal age who is seeking to determine the identity of his or her father. Paternity suits may be filed at any time during and after pregnancy, but cannot be filed after a child becomes 20 years old. Once paternity is established, the court will also put in place orders regarding child custody, conservatorship, and visitation and child support.
