Paternity and Legitimization Lawyers

Family Attorneys: DNA Paternity Testing & Child Support in Atlanta & Georgia

A paternity action is a court suit filed to have a man declared the father of a child and can be brought by either the mother or father.  Paternity establishes a child's legitimacy and, when in doubt, establishing paternity may be a vital factor for the court in determining custody, visitation, and child support.  This can be true regardless of whether a couple was ever married.

Paternity can be accurately determined through DNA testing.  In addition to the legal benefit, accurate paternity information can also be extremely helpful in providing for a child's medical care, should disease or other genetically related disorders unfortunately become an issue.  Paternity and legitimization may also benefit children emotionally and socially.  Family relationships develop as a child discovers siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that may otherwise have never been known.

If you have a paternity issue, the experienced attorneys at Meriwether & Tharp can provide you with the expertise, guidance, and resources required to bring your case to it's optimum conclusion.
