Establishing Paternity in New York
Legally establishing the father of a child can be a challenging matter. However, it is an important step to take for the mother to seek child support and for the father to seek child custody or visitation arrangements.
As an experienced lawyer, I understand the process of establishing paternity. I know the challenges that can arise. I know how to overcome these challenges in order to help you obtain the outcome that meets your needs.
At the Law Office of Elliot Green, I provide dedicated paternity representation to people in Brooklyn, Manhattan and throughout New York City. I am a caring advocate, ready to put in the work necessary to get results.
You will have questions. I will have answers for you. I will remain in contact with you throughout your case, so you will always know where you are in the paternity process.
Legal Rights of the Mother
Typically, mothers come to me to establish paternity as a first step toward getting the child support they need to raise their child. Whether the father is willing to sign the necessary documentation or the case requires a court ordered DNA test, I am able to help mothers through this process.
Legal Rights of the Father
When fathers come to me for assistance with paternity cases, it is most often because they have been named the father of a child and they want to maintain the right to be a part of their child's life through some form of child custody or visitation arrangement.
Sometimes, the person named as the father is not the father at all. As an experienced attorney, I am able to push back to see that a man is not forced to pay for the costs of raising another man's child.
