Solutions For Divorce & Other Family Law issues

A paternity action may be filed by a man who believes himself to be the father of a child – often when the mother has refused him the ability to spend time with his child. If successful, the paternity action will give him the opportunity to enjoy the custodial rights and privileges he deserves as the child’s father.
A paternity action may be filed by a woman seeking to require a reluctant father to take responsibility and to provide financial support for the child.
In some cases, a paternity action is launched by a third party who has been called upon to provide for the care and maintenance of a child. For example, when the State of Tennessee has to provide financial support for a child, the State will often seek to establish the parentage of the child so that the appropriate parties can be held financially responsible
