Paternity Lawyer

Custody and Support

In some situations, spouses or former spouses may need to refute the presumption of paternity that arises when a child is born during or within 300 days after the parties’ marriage. In other situations, unmarried partners may disagree over paternal rights and responsibilities.

As a child custody attorney from our firm could further explain, either party is permitted to challenge paternity in court. While establishing paternity requires proof by a preponderance of the evidence (in other words, it simply must be more likely than not that the man is the child’s father), rebutting the presumption of paternity requires proof by clear and convincing evidence. This is a much higher standard, though it can also be satisfied through genetic testing. Reach out to our paternity lawyers at Jones Family Law Group, LLC if you have any further questions.

Testimonials

I fully and without hesitation recommend Stephanie, Sarah, and the whole team to anyone needing a family law firm. They are meticulous, diligent, hard-working, and compassionate. They take time to understand the details of each case and situation, striving for the best outcomes for their clients. Jones Family Law took the time to explain and talk through all choices and options so I could do what was best for my family in both the immediate and long term. During a very difficult time in my life, I knew I had sound and competent representation from people who truly care about the work they do.

Testimonials

I was refereed to Sarah Wittrock by a friend who is an attorney, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I felt as if she and her team always did their due diligence with keeping me in the loop and up to date with any changes. Going through a divorce is a difficult enough without having to deal with all of the legal headache. Hiring Sarah was the best money that I have spent this year, and should anything come up in the future, I know who I can call. Great working with the Jones Family Law Group, LLC!!!

Testimonials

I am very grateful for the legal services and results I received from

Jones Family Law in my divorce case. Stephanie Jones is an outstanding, hard working, professional, and trustworthy attorney who I cannot say enough about. She has come through for me and my children during a very difficult time. Stephanie promised to stick with me through thick and thin and held true to that promise even in the midst of a chaotic and complicated case and trial. Kate Rossi also worked very hard representing me extraordinarily during this time and Megan Leesman, is a diligent and supportive paralegal who is great at what she does. They all work great together and made me feel as though I had an entire team in my corner fighting for us.

Anyone with a complicated family law matter would be blessed to have Jones Family Law on their side.
