 In
child support cases, before support
can be ordered or collected, the paternity of the child must be proven in a court of law, unless the father
voluntarily admits paternity.
Proof of paternity is constituted either by voluntary
signature, a judge’s decision, or the fact that the mother was
married to the man either before or after the child is born.
If a man refuses to admit to fathering a child and the mother
decides to take him to court, it is advised for her to acquire the
services of a child paternity attorney &
lawyer to
protect both her legal rights and the rights of the child
or children which are involved.
Every child has the right to be supported by both parents. When
a child's paternity is being questioned by the biological father,
paternity
proceedings are essential to establish, as a matter
of legal record, the child's biological father in
order to seek child support.

Gail Cheatwood
has successfully represented many Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow,
or Polk County Florida area residents in Child Paternity and Family Law legal issues and disputes.
Unfortunately, when the paternity of a child is being
disputed, the assumed father of the child, or children
may choose to attempt to make it difficult to obtain a
paternity test to prove or disprove that they are the
biological father. On the other side of the coin, there
are also situations in which a man is lead to believe
they are the father of a child, only to find out that
they are not.
A court ordered paternity test may be sought by either
the mother or male who is in doubt of, or contesting the
fact that a child is their biological offspring, or to
prove that the child is his.

Child paternity
is an important process which aids in various legal
situations, such as:
-
To provide the child with a needed identity, or
to verify a child's identity;
-
To help establish a health history of both the
Mother and Father for medical care and treatment
of the child;
-
To establish or disprove paternity for the
purpose of determining whether child support is
owed;
-
To allow the child to be covered by health
insurance, social security, inheritance and
veteran's benefits;
-
Paternity also may allow the parties involved to
seek public assistance where they qualify;
-
Establishing paternity may entitle such child by
succession or inheritance to receive property
from his or her biological father.
