Attorneys Handling Parentage Issues In Chicago
The parent is the most important role you will have in your lifetime. Illinois law provides that even if you did not marry the mother or father of your child, you have almost all the same rights and obligations of married persons regarding support and custody.
If you are going through a legal battle with the other parent, you may feel your role is in jeopardy. You may be worried that your rights will be stripped away. You may worry that you will no longer have a close parent-child relationship. Our law firm works diligently to bring calm and solid guidance to you when things seem uncertain.
Attorneys Resolving Paternity And Co-Parent Disputes
Paternity and parentage cases can take several surprising turns – for example, when a child’s birth mother does not want to be found by a biological father who wants to be closer to his child, or when a father seeks paternity testing to increase access to a son or daughter and is prepared to pay regular child support.
Birth mothers can also seek out a co-parent to demand paternity testing to receive financial support.
There are a variety of paternity rights issues that arise, both for birth mothers and biological fathers. Whatever parental issues you might have in Cook County or Illinois, call our Chicago-based family law attorneys at O'Connor Family Law, P.C.
Our lawyers give you the benefits of their nearly 30 years of combined experience creating solutions for unique family law situations, such as complex parentage matters and special custody issues such as interfaith parents.
