Many types of cases unfold in the family court system. If you face any type of legal matter involving your marriage, your children, or extended family members, the case will likely proceed through family court.

What Is Paternity Fraud?

Fathers face many significant challenges in the family court system of the United States. Every father and every alleged father need to know their rights when it comes to establishing paternity. Unfortunately, paternity fraud is widespread in the United States and worldwide, causing many men to believe they are fathers of children who are not their biological children.

In other cases, biological mothers knowingly lie about paternity for some benefit, typically to secure

While children certainly need less attention as they grow, parents never stop caring for their children in age-appropriate ways. This is the case whether both parents or only one parent is involved. When it comes to divorce, many parents struggle with the idea of child-rearing. Though divorce may be best for the couple, the process puts their relationship with their child in jeopardy.
