South King County - Pierce County
Parentage and Paternity Lawyers

Just as divorcing parents can have difficult problems concerning the support and custody of their children, unmarried parents can also encounter trouble in stabilizing their relationships with their children, securing adequate child support from a nonresidential parent, or sharing the responsibility for the child's education, medical care, or other basic needs.

Contact our Tacoma parentage attorneys if you have questions about establishing paternity, resolving child support or placement/visitation questions, or securing your right to a stable relationship with your child from an unmarried relationship. Our attorneys can help you with problems involving:

• Establishing paternity of your child
• Securing appropriate child support for your child
• If you are an alleged father, assisting you to defend an allegation of paternity through DNA testing
• Working with the State Department of Child Support to negotiate a reasonable monthly obligation

Unmarried fathers who are liable for child support do not automatically obtain the typical rights of parents simply by virtue of having been proved to be the biological father. In order to get the benefits of shared custody of a child and have a voice in major decisions affecting his or her welfare, it is necessary to file a Petition to Establish Parentage and residential schedule/parenting plan. In parentage proceedings, child custody, residential schedules, and parenting plans are negotiated and determined in a manner similar to that which occurs in a divorce.

Whether you're an unmarried mother or father, Tacoma paternity lawyers Cameron Fleury and Rachel Rolfs can help you stabilize and secure the support and custody of your children in a manner consistent with your objectives as a parent and best interests of the child.
