Every child has the right to be raised by its mother and father. Every parent has the right to make decisions regarding the upbringing of the child, as well as the right to spend time with the child.

At DeBernardis & Associates, P.C., I have more than a decade of experience focusing on family law disputes, including paternity concerns. I understand the delicate nature of disputes involving children, and I will do my best to pursue your goals and the best interests of the child at all times.

Fathers and Mothers Wanting to Determine Paternity
If you know you are the father of a child and want all the legal rights and responsibilities that come along with being the father, you may need to undergo DNA testing. If this test proves you are the father of the child in question, the court will legally establish you as such. This will give you legal right to custody and visitation, as well as the responsibility to provide financial support for the child.
If you are a mother and require child support payments to assist you in raising your child, but the father refuses to acknowledge the child, you can obtain court-ordered paternity testing. Once paternity is determined, you can pursue child support through the court.
