Based upon our attorneys' long record of success, our approach works. Call our Beverly Hills family disputes lawyers with any of your concerns about paternity. Some common scenarios involve:

• Unmarried parents who disagree about visitation: There are any number of variations of time-sharing schedules which the parties can utilize to share the physical custody of their children. Our attorneys will discuss with you the types of plans which we feel are appropriate, practical and in the best interest of  the child(ren) involved. If the two parties cannot agree on the physical and legal custody of your child(ren), the Court will make the necessary decisions and enter an Order in that regard. The Court does not automatically give custody of the child(ren) to the mother. Instead, the Court must decide which parent will best serve the best interests of the child(ren).
• A parent seeking child support from someone who denies paternity: We may be able to seek a Court order that forces the suspected parent to take a DNA test which will offer essential proof.
