Florida Paternity and Child Support Attorneys
Biological fathers and mothers have rights that need protection in paternity cases as having a child outside of marriage creates complexities that often require the knowledge of an experienced family law attorney. At Meador & Vigodsky, we bring not only experience to these emotional legal matters, but we also provide personalized service and dedication to your unique circumstances.
Whether you need help with a parenting plan or child support in a paternity matter, we can help. Contact our Pensacola office toll free at 888-304-7080.
Asserting the Rights of Biological Fathers
A name on the birth certificate is not enough to establish paternity without the proper registration at birth. At Meador & Vigodsky, we accept cases in which paternity, DNA paternity testing and disestablishment can directly affect a myriad of issues, including child support and child custody status. We serve married and unmarried individuals and couples seeking confirmation or termination of parental rights, resolutions to time-sharing or shared-parenting disputes, and matters related to putative father registries — a father's right to stop an adoption.
You need paternity lawyers who truly listen to you, who value your opinion and can advocate aggressively for you and your family. We will take your goals to family court and present them with the passion and personal attention they deserve.
Legal Help for Mothers Needing Support and Rights Protection
If you are the unmarried mother of a child, you likely fear that your son or daughter will be taken from you by the biological father. Financial concerns also arise when the father is not providing child support. You need the help of a paternity lawyer who will not only represent you aggressively, but who will also look out for the best interests of your child.
