Supporting Clients with Tact and Discretion

Paternity is a very sensitive issue for some families. We work discreetly with mothers and fathers to develop child support and child custody and visitation agreements that are appropriate for the income of parents and their station in life. Our goal is to help parents maintain a positive working relationship to ensure that they are able to work together in the future for the benefit of their child.

Securing Your Parental Rights as a Biological Father

If you are the unmarried father of a child, it will be important to secure your rights to visitation by acknowledging paternity. It is possible to seek custody, even if you are unmarried, if it can be proven that that is in the best interest of the child. Talk with child custody lawyer Steven Buholz about your concerns.
