Paternity Disputes

Paternity disputes arise when there is uncertainty or disagreement about who is the biological father of a child. These disputes can occur in various situations, such as child custody cases, child support issues, or parental rights claims. To resolve these disputes, genetic testing, typically a DNA test, is often used to establish biological relationships. Legal and emotional factors also play significant roles, as the outcome can impact parental responsibilities, rights, and the child's welfare. Courts may become involved to ensure the best interests of the child are considered in determining paternity.
