Paternity

Boca Raton Paternity Attorney

Establishing paternity is a crucial legal process that determines the biological father of a child, affecting child support, custody, and parental rights. In Boca Raton, paternity cases are governed by Florida state laws, which provide specific procedures and criteria for addressing paternity issues. Understanding these local insights is essential for navigating your case effectively with the help of a skilled paternity lawyer in Boca Raton.

At Johnson O’Keefe, our compassionate team is committed to helping you through every step of the paternity process, ensuring your rights and interests are fully protected. Whether you’re a mother seeking support or a father looking to assert your parental rights, we provide the personalized counsel needed to achieve a favorable outcome with your paternity attorney in Boca Raton.

The Paternity Process in Boca Raton

In Florida, establishing paternity can be achieved voluntarily or through a court order. Voluntary acknowledgment involves both parents signing a legal document declaring the father’s identity. When disputes arise, a court may order genetic testing to confirm paternity, often conducted by local agencies in Boca Raton.

Once paternity is confirmed, the father becomes legally obligated to provide child support and may petition for custody or visitation rights. Our team at Johnson O’Keefe excels in guiding clients through these intricate legal processes, ensuring that every legal step complies with Florida laws to protect your interests.
