Merrimack Valley Fathers' Rights Attorney
When children are born out of wedlock, the father's name on the birth certificate does not automatically give the father the right to parenting time with his children. Sadly, many fathers do not realize this right away. It takes a stressful event for them to understand that legal action is necessary in order to protect their relationship with their children.
At Ilg & Devore, P.C., we represent clients in the paternity matters that affect them. Our Lowell law firm serves fathers throughout Massachusetts, helping them to enforce and protect fathers' rights, as well as manage related matters such as child custody, visitation and child support.
We use extensive legal experience to help our clients achieve the best possible results. To do so, we guide them through the paternity process, making sure that every detail is accounted for from the beginning of the case until matters are resolved favorably.
Establishing Paternity
Establishing paternity is the legal term for determining the legal father of a child. When a couple is not married establishing legal paternity is done for several reasons:
- To obtain child support
- To obtain health insurance through an employer
- To protect the child's right to benefits if the father passes away
- To give a father the legal right to custody or visitation of the child
