Understanding the Importance of Establishing Paternity
Once paternity has been established, both unmarried parents are given the same rights as parents who are married. The child benefits immensely from paternity establishment, knowing that he or she will receive emotional support and financial assistance. It also gives the father many legal rights, such as the right for the child to take his last name.
Key Benefits of Establishing Paternity
- Parents get to share responsibility for parenting
- The children can benefit from both parents’ financial security
- The children can receive medical insurance under the father
- The right to have the father’s name on the child’s birth certificate
- The right to child custody and visitation rights
By establishing paternity, you are also taking on the legal responsibility of being involved in the child’s life. Otherwise, the courts cannot grant you the right to visitation or custody. You have the chance to make critical decisions about the child’s livelihood, including where they will live, where they will attend school, religious preferences, and extracurricular activities as well. Our attorneys understand how important it is for you to be part of your child’s life.

"The law firm of Wayne F. Crowe provided me with the legal support and strength I needed during my divorce."My divorce was smooth and I am extremely happy with the settlement. After the divorce Wayne and his team also provided me with the legal support I needed to terminate my child support obligations and gain sole custody of my children. I am very pleased with the services provided and the outcome could not have been any better.- Ranjee R.

"I would recommend this law firm to anyone. They are AWESOME."Wayne and his team are absolutely the best!!! I can't rave enough about this law firm. When I first met Wayne he listen to my concerns and put my worries at rest. Initially I needed help with what I thought would be a simply child support case. Two years later I'm still going back and forth with this issue. My child's father is a real creep and tried his very best to hide his income. Geoffrey Greenless was able to see through deceit. Jeff (for short) ordered my copies of his bank accounts and went through each transaction with a fine toothed comb. Jeff presented the evidence in such a way the judge had no choice but to dismiss the fraudulent motion. Wayne and Jeff have always been honest and upfront. They've always made me feel like I was on the winning team. I’m able to reach Jeff or Wayne via email, phone or text message. Jeff has never been absent or late to any of my scheduled court dates. I would recommend this law firm to anyone. They are AWESOME.- Crystal M.

"They do what they say they are going to do and they will fight for your best interest. Please trust their judgment as it is a difficult process for everyone."I have went through a very difficult process. I went through two attorneys before meeting the Wayne Crowe Jr staff. I am so appreciative that I had the opportunity to have their staff work for me. I wish that I would have went to them first. Their staff Wayne, Caroline, Lee, Brian and Scott were all hands on and wonderful people. They not only cleaned up the mess the previous attorneys made. They were diligent, understanding and compassionate. I had the pleasure of having Caroline represent me and she is amazing.- Former Client

I would highly recommend him.- Marianne F.
