At Hecht & Associates, LLC, we understand the complexities surrounding paternity issues in Maryland. Our firm has extensive experience guiding clients through the legal intricacies of establishing and contesting paternity in Rockville as well as other communities in Montgomery County and Howard County. We recognize the profound impact these cases have on families and approach each situation with the sensitivity and legal acumen it deserves.
Establishing Paternity In Maryland
Paternity refers to the legal recognition of a child’s biological father. In Maryland, paternity can be established through:
- Voluntary acknowledgment by both parents
- Genetic testing
- Court order
Our legal team is knowledgeable in navigating these processes, ensuring our clients’ rights are protected throughout.
The Importance Of Paternity Determination
Establishing paternity is crucial for both fathers and children. It grants fathers legal rights and responsibilities, including custody and visitation. For children, it secures financial support, inheritance rights and access to family medical history. We work tirelessly to achieve outcomes that serve the best interests of all parties involved.
Contested Paternity Cases
Disputed paternity cases can be emotionally charged and legally complex. Our firm has a proven track record in resolving these high-conflict situations. We employ strategic negotiation techniques and, when necessary, provide aggressive representation in court to protect our clients’ interests.
