Paternity

A paternity action serves to resolve the issues that arise when a child is born to individuals who are not married.  A paternity action seeks a resolution to matters of legal parentage, child support, whether the parents make important decisions concerning the child together (shared parental responsibility) or whether one parent has ultimate decision-making authority over all aspects of a child’s life (sole parental responsibility), and a schedule for each parent to timeshare with their child including who will spend time with the child on holidays and school breaks.  The smallest and intimate details of a child’s life are extremely important and it is imperative to retain an attorney who strives to resolve all matters in the child’s best interest, such as those at Marilyn Colon, P.A.
