Lexington Paternity Lawyers
Parents who have children together, but who have never been married to each other, have unique legal challenges. Married people with children cannot get divorced until they agree in writing about custody, timesharing and child support. If the parents cannot agree on these issues, the judge will make a decision for them.
Unmarried couples, however, frequently separate with nothing in writing about who has custody of the children, when the children will spend time with each parent and who will pay child support. Without an agreement, disputes frequently arise. We have extensive experience both in and out of court working with mothers and fathers to resolve these issues.
For some people, before they can even discuss custody and child support, there might be a question about who is the child's biological father. The issue of whether a man is a child's biological parent can be resolved through paternity testing. We can help obtain the appropriate testing and resolve the issues that accompany it.
Parents who have never been married also frequently encounter complications when attempting to travel out of the country with children. Due to 9/11, the rules for obtaining a passport for a child have changed dramatically. When there is no custody agreement, it can be very difficult to obtain a passport for a child. Our attorneys can help you with that process.
