Are you the parent of a child whose other parent isn’t your spouse? A mother or a father can file either a Complaint to Establish Paternity or a Complaint about Custody, Visitation or Support. These actions formalize each parent’s rights to a relationship with the child and establish child support and health insurance orders.
At the Peabody, Massachusetts, Law Office of Merril S. Chin, we have handled hundreds of paternity actions for mothers and fathers. We can represent you in negotiations and court hearings regarding issues such as:
• establishing a father’s legal relationship with his child, including paternity testing
• establishing a father’s or a mother’s legal responsibility to pay child support and maintain health insurance for the child
• establishing legal and physical custody, as well as parenting plans
