In cases where a person is not married but as a child, a paternity case may need to be filed in order to establish the right to have visitation and child custody. At the Law Office of Steven N. Cole we assist both mothers and fathers who are either trying to prove paternity and assert their custody and visitation rights, or are defending against such a case. Paternity cases are often extremely time sensitive. A parent may choose to move out of state prior to the establishment of paternity. A parent may try to restrict visitation and access either fairly or unfairly. In either case, it is imperative that the lawyer get involved early and provide advice at the onset.
