We frequently meet with clients who have never been married but have children in common with a former partner. If this is the situation in your case, and you want to more firmly establish your own rights and those of your child, a Petition for Determination of Paternity and Related Relief is in order.
Petition for Determination of Paternity and Related Relief.
This Petition requests that the Court:
- Legally establish paternity
- Establish child support
- Establish a time-sharing schedule and parental responsibility
