According to Ohio family law, a paternity action will formally establish a parent-child relationship. A paternity action will determine who should be paying for support and how much the parents should be paying. The establishment of a child’s paternity is dependent on a DNA test, which is considered accurate by Ohio family law. If the child was born when the two parties were married, the law assumes that the husband is the father; however, this may be a difficult presumption to overcome for either parent. When a couple was not married, blood tests will determine the paternity.  

The northeast Ohio family law attorneys understand the sensitive nature of paternity actions and compassionately represent both men and women in these cases. They represent men who pay child support without an established paternity, as well as those wishing to challenge the paternity of a child. The northeast Ohio family law attorneys also represent women looking to ensure the father pays his fair share of the child’s expenses through the appropriate county agency.
