Lebanon, Ohio, Paternity Lawyer
As a father, you have rights and responsibilities when it comes to your child’s well-being. But without legal guidance, you may struggle to assert those rights and give your child the care and support they need.
That’s where I come in – a dedicated and compassionate Lebanon paternity lawyer with over 15 years of experience in family law. At The Law Office of Juliette Gaffney Dame, I provide calm and practical strategies tailored to each family’s unique situation. I have a long history of serving Warren, Butler and Hamilton counties. With me, you will receive personalized attention and high-quality services without the need to drive to Cincinnati.
Understanding Paternity: Acknowledgment Versus Testing
Establishing paternity is crucial for securing your rights as a father. You can acknowledge paternity voluntarily, or you may need genetic testing. Acknowledging paternity can be simple and straightforward. However, you may want to pursue DNA testing if you have uncertainty about the child’s biological father. Each path has its own process and implications. I will guide you through these options, explaining how they work.
Rights After Paternity: Parenting Plans And Child Support
Once paternity is established, you have the right to seek custody, parenting time and child support. As your child custody lawyer, I can help you develop a parenting plan that prioritizes your child’s best interests while also protecting your rights as a father. We will work together to create a plan that addresses issues such as custody, visitation and decision-making authority. Additionally, I can help you understand your obligations and rights regarding child support. My goal is to ensure fair and reasonable arrangements for you and your child.
Pursuing Temporary Orders And Modifications
Life is unpredictable, and circumstances can change quickly. If you need to modify an existing custody or support order, I can assist you. We will work together to gather evidence and build a strong case for modification. If you need temporary orders to address an urgent situation, I can help you seek emergency relief from the court.
