Determining Appropriate Parenting Rights
At the law firm of Marsh, Higgins, Beaty & Hatch, we have more than 30 years experience handling cases involving child custody. In every case, we investigate each parent's situation and prepare our client's case to ensure the best possible arrangement for both parents and the children involved. An important question in determining the best interests of the children is their existing and potential future needs. Marsh Higgins Beaty & Hatch attorneys provide experienced representation in effectively presenting your case to the court. Additionally, as with child support, sometimes facts and circumstances change over time that may lead to a case for custody or visitation modifications down the road. We believe in parenting rights and work hard for our clients' cases.
Identifying Paternity and Non-Paternity
Both parents have a right to support and help raise their children. However, until paternity is proven, decisions involving child custody cannot be made. There are a couple of scenarios that require paternity testing in order to be resolved, such as:
- A parent requesting child support, while the other parent is denying paternity
- A parent denying the other parent a role in raising his or her child and seeking a visitation schedule by claiming that person is not the child's parent
- A parent requesting to stop child support payments due to lack of proof of actual paternity
Determining paternity and non-paternity of children can prove to be an emotional, expensive and complicated process. It is important to hire experienced legal representation that will guide you along the way and ensure that all the necessary steps are taken.
