Family Law Paralegal Services » Establish Parentage (Unmarried Parents)

When parents were never married, establishing parentage is often the starting point for creating enforceable court orders. Parentage establishes legal parent-child status so the court can enter orders for a parenting plan, child support, or both.

Related Parentage Situations

Paternity disputes may involve DNA testing and may proceed into parentage once results are received. In some situations, a parent may seek a parenting plan when child support was previously set through an administrative or court process. Other cases may require a motion-based approach depending on the facts and what orders already exist.
