Georgia Paternity

Augusta GA Paternity Lawyer

What does paternity mean?

Paternity refers to father. When lawyers talk about “establishing paternity,” they mean determining who a child’s biological father is.

What is a paternity test?

A paternity test determines if a man is the biological father of a child. Either the mother or father may ask for the test to be performed. DNA tests are the most accurate tests for paternity, but blood tests can be used as well. The mother may wish to establish paternity in order to force the father to pay to help support the child or a father may wish to in order to obtain visitation or custody rights to his child. A mother may even be able to get help with medical bills or other costs before a child is born.
You only get one chance to bring up the issue of paternity. For example, if you agree to pay child support, you cannot later try to get out of it by arguing that you are not the child’s biological father.

It is important to consult a Georgia family lawyer before signing any paperwork regarding paternity.
