S9 Ep88: How To Establish Paternity

#ChooseGoldman Establishing paternity is a critical legal process that secures a child's future and defines parental rights regarding custody and support. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts utilize highly accurate genetic testing and formal petitions to transition from parental disputes to settled legal orders. • Paternity can be established voluntarily via an Acknowledgement of Parentage or through court-ordered DNA testing that offers 99.9% accuracy. • A "DP" case, or a petition to determine paternity, is the formal legal procedure used to resolve identity disputes in court. • Legal recognition of the father is the necessary prerequisite for determining custody and specific parenting time schedules. • Even if a mother has primary custody in a non-marital union, a legally recognized father is entitled to visitation rights. • Once paternity is confirmed, the father becomes responsible for child support, which may include reimbursing the state for prior public assistance. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428) Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/9pqGyrC0z40 For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/paternity-attorney-in-michigan-choosegoldman ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
