Key Reasons to Establish Paternity
There are two primary reasons individuals seek to establish parentage or engage a paternity lawyer: issues involving child support and issues involving child custody.
A mother may request a paternity test and file a paternity suit to establish parentage and enforce child support obligations. A father may file a paternity suit to avoid paying child support for a child who is not his. He may also wish to establish his paternity and gain child custody and visitation rights.
Our experienced Frisco paternity lawyers can help you understand the paternity action you face while protecting your rights and legal interests.
Advantages of Establishing Paternity
Establishing paternity refers to the legal process of determining the biological father of a child. If you are a father who is not married to the child's mother or a mother who is not married to the child's father, establishing paternity is important for a number of reasons. Here are some of the benefits:
- Legal Rights: Once paternity is established, both parents have legal rights and responsibilities towards the child. This includes the right to make decisions about the child's upbringing, education, and medical care.
- Child Support: If one parent is not providing financial support for the child, establishing paternity can ensure that child support is ordered and paid.
- Medical History: Knowing the child's full medical history is important for making informed decisions about their health care.
- Emotional Benefits: A child benefits emotionally from having a relationship with both parents. Establishing paternity can help facilitate and strengthen that bond.

Who We Represent in Paternity Matters
At Pfister Family Law, we represent both mothers and potential fathers in paternity actions. We are quite familiar with the legal process and can advise you as to whether filing a paternity suit is your best option.
If you are a mother seeking the child support you are owed from your child’s father, we can help you hold the father accountable. Our paternity action will likely require the alleged father to submit to a DNA test.
If you are a father seeking custody of your child, we can help you submit a claim and guide you through the lawsuit. If you are the biological father, you have custody rights as a parent, and we want to help establish and protect them.
If you are a father who denies parentage of a child, we can represent you during the paternity action. You will remain informed about the process and the status of your case along the way.
