Paternity Cases

Phoenix Paternity Lawyers

A paternity action is basically a child custody, visitation, and support case in which the two parents are not married.

A paternity action may be filed by a mother or father to establish custody, parenting time and child support for a child born out of wedlock. We believe in childrens rights to have a substantial relationship with both parents, whether or not their parents were married.

Arizona has established child support guidelines to determine the amount of child support a non-custodial parent must pay.

At DeShon Pullen & Associates, our attorneys represent both fathers and mothers in paternity actions. Unmarried fathers often describe the loss of contact with their child as the worst consequence of a relationship break-up. Unless there are compelling reasons not to, our attorneys seek to preserve a healthy and ongoing relationship between children and both parents, whether the parents are married or not. However, it is important to assert your rights promptly if you are an unmarried father who is denied access to your child.

At DeShon Pullen and Associates, we will help you analyze the costs and benefits of a paternity action. Our goal is to help you obtain the result you want quickly efficiently, and economically. Contact us for all your family law needs.
