Basics of Legal Paternity
The legal procedure to specify a child’s biological father is proving paternity. The biological father has no parental rights or obligations to the child until the court resolves paternity. The father does not have to pay child support and has no right to visit the child without paternity. Either parent of the child can petition the court to establish paternity.

Paternity Disputes & Fathers’ Rights
There are many complex issues surrounding paternal rights. While some fathers dispute the paternal allegations, other fathers assert their parental rights.

The child’s best interests must come first, no matter the complicated issues between the parents. It’s critical that experienced paternity lawyers handle paternity disputes and fathers’ rights. Whether you’re a mother fighting to protect her child’s best interests or a father fighting for his paternal rights, we are here for you.
Paternity Actions in Utah

A woman often takes paternity actions to ensure the father meets his parental responsibilities or to establish parenting for the children.
