Have a paralegal prepare your paperwork for establishing paternity in King County Superior Court of Washington State. Establishing paternity is done with a motion to compel DNA testing resulting in a paternity order, which then moves on to establishing parentage.

Establishing paternity is the legal process the court uses to determine a child’s biological father when parentage is disputed or not legally recognized. Until paternity is established by court order, the court generally cannot enter enforceable orders related to custody, parenting time, or child support.

When parentage is established, you can then request child support and a parenting plan along with it.
