Massachusetts Paternity Testing Attorney
Paternity issues can affect anyone. At the Worcester office of The Massachusetts Family Law Group (MFLG), our lawyers help both married and non-married couples get accurate paternity tests and deal with the results. The husband is presumed to be the father when a child is born to a married couple. However, paternity testing can verify parentage.
Why Get a Paternity Test?
Both men and women can seek to have the identity of a child's father verified. Our clients include:
- Men who wish to exercise their fathers' rights.
- Fathers who wish to defend against an order for child support.
- Mothers who are seeking child support.
Our attorneys are aggressive in pursuit of our clients' goals — whether paternity is established by a simple cheek swab or by voluntary acknowledgement of paternity. Once the father has been identified, parents will be able to seek custody, support or visitation, following the legal process established by the Worcester County Probate and Family Court. Decisions about paternity have lifelong consequences, so it's important to work with a family law attorney who understands how to use paternity information to achieve a client's goals.
Our Attorneys Thrive on Challenging Situations
On occasion, paternity matters can become contentious, with attorneys on the other side using intimidation and anger to achieve results. Our lawyers are immune to such tactics and will stand up to the other side, providing the client with high-quality advocacy — whatever the circumstances. We rely on our extensive network of experts and specialists — our statewide brain trust — to help us present a strong case for disputed matters involving paternity and child custody, child support and visitation.
Not Getting Results From Your Current Attorney?
If your case is not going the way that you want or you have lost confidence in your current attorney, consider hiring The Massachusetts Family Law Group. One thing is for sure: The other parent and his or her attorney will know — in an instant — that you are serious once they hear that we are your lawyers in a paternity matter.
Clients Enjoy a Home-Court Advantage
Our clients benefit from a home-court advantage in Worcester County; because we appear in the probate and family court almost every day, we know the preferences and courtroom procedures favored by each judge. This allows us to build cases that present our clients' sides in a way most likely to resonate with the judge.
