Phoenix Paternity Test Attorney

Arizona Paternity Actions Lawyers in Phoenix and Tempe

Establishing paternity is an essential component in obtaining and maintaining fathers' rights for biological dads. Without an official, court-ordered DNA test revealing paternity, there is no legal proof that a man is the father of a child.

If you are a man seeking visitation or custody rights to your child, or if you are a woman trying to secure child support payments, it is essential to work through the legal paternity test process with the guidance of an experienced Arizona family law attorney. At Bishop & Martin Law Office, P.C., we offer legal services from our two office locations in Phoenix and in Tempe. Contact us to discuss your paternity goals and legal options.

Fathers' Rights Begin With Paternity Testing

At Bishop & Martin, attorney Bill Bishop a certified family law specialist, and the legal team work to help unmarried parents determine who a child's biological father is through court-ordered paternity testing. We work to make sure the necessary paperwork is completed and filed to initiate the paternity process and to represent mothers or fathers in court.

Why pursue a paternity action? Determining paternity establishes rights and benefits for unmarried fathers and mothers and their children in many ways, including:

• Paternity grants a father custody and visitation rights.
• Paternity gives a father opportunities to make parenting decisions about a child.
• Paternity allows a birth mother to pursue child support from the father.
• Paternity provides citizenship or nationality for a child.
• Paternity offers a child inheritance to a father's assets and benefits.
