Phoenix Family Law Attorneys for Paternity Matters
At Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Rakestraw, we use years of experience to help mothers and fathers achieve the best possible results in paternity actions. Located in Phoenix, we have the capacity to handle a wide range of related matters as well — matters like visitation with a child and child support payments.
When Fathers Seek Paternity
When a child is born outside of a marriage and the father's name is not on the birth certificate, the father may not have any enforceable legal rights to custody and visitation with the child until paternity is established.
At Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Rakestraw, we help fathers establish their right to custody and visitation by filing successful paternity actions. Recognizing that each family's situation is unique, we represent mothers in paternity actions as well.
We have the experience to succeed in these matters. Among our ranks are three experienced family law practitioners, including a retired superior court judge who was on the bench for more than 19 years.
Paternity and Child Support
In some cases, paternity must be established before a child support order can be granted and enforced. The lawyers at Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Rakestraw can help with this as well. We guide clients through the process and act forcefully to protect their interests.
