Parties going through a paternity case should know that they’re in a common situation, that at the end of the day – next to divorce – paternity cases are really the most common type of family law matter that’s out there. Paternity cases are really just custody and child support disputes among parties that had kids that weren’t married. These cases are common.
It’s important to have an attorney throughout the process helping you if you’re going through one of these cases. Again, 40% of kids are born out of wedlock in the United States as things stand today.
So, next to divorce, paternity cases are really a very common case. They’re important cases and the ramifications for parties and the children are really tremendous. So, it’s important to have representation that’s effective if you’re going through a paternity case.
