Determining the paternity of a child can have long-lasting consequences for the lives of families and individuals both economically and personally.
Paternity is the act of legally establishing the father of a child born out of wedlock.
Paternity law is complex and establishing paternity is the first step toward a mother securing child support for her child.
If the mother of a child is unwilling to allow visitation, paternity may be the only recourse a father has to begin visitation with his child.
Historically, the most difficult question in all of Family Law is: Who will get custody of the children?
Obviously, this is an emotionally charged issue that often causes heated conflict and in some instances litigation.
A court will look at both parent's living situations along with a host of statutory factors to determine custody based on the best interest of the child.
The parents may also mutually agree to one parent being named the custodial parent, while the other parent will enjoy parenting time.
The law in Indiana is very clear: a child is entitled to the support of both parents.
It is a child's right and one that should not be taken lightly.
The amount of support to be paid by a parent is determined by the Indiana Child Support Guidelines and considers such factors as income of the parents, health insurance contribution and overnight visits to name just a few.
Whether child support is an issue in a divorce, custody or a paternity matter, Howes & Howes will work to obtain the amount of support which your child is due.
