Detailed, Informed Legal Fatherhood Attorneys
Did you know in the state of Wisconsin, if a woman conceives or gives birth to a child while married, the husband is the legal father? Protect your rights and the rights of your child.
Unlike married couples who have a child, legal fatherhood of unmarried couples must be determined to ensure the parental rights of the father and financial support for the child. Until a biological father can prove paternity, he has no right to have his name on the birth certificate, or ask for visitation, or petition for legal or physical custody of the child. In addition, the child would also have no right to receive medical insurance or inheritance benefits from the father. By the same token, child support will not be granted until legal fatherhood is proven.
Milwaukee Paternity and Unmarried Couples Attorneys
At Derr & Villarreal LLC Attorneys & Mediators, we recognize that unmarried couples do not have the same relationships, histories or concerns that married couples do. In fact, there are significant differences between the two. We understand that the unmarried couples we represent are unique because they are often young and just had their first child. In child custody or child support cases with unmarried couples, we are often dealing with infants, rather than older children who have ideas and opinions of their own.
Typically, fathers in paternity cases are very concerned and anxious about the possibility of not have a parenting role in their child's life. We help establish one.
As Oshkosh paternity attorneys, we are comfortable and familiar with the developmental needs of infants as well as the schedules that are best for them. We are extremely familiar with the child support calculators and can help you determine your ability to support your child and still have enough to live on.
Lawyers Derr and Villarreal have specific training in child development and have a clear understanding of the age appropriate developmental needs of children. Call 800-616-3480 or e-mail us today to ensure your rights as a father, and the rights of your child.
