Our Paternity Legal Services
Our expert family law solicitors provide legal advice and support in a full range of paternity matters, including:
Understanding Paternity Law
In the UK, paternity or DNA tests require consent before a sample can be taken. However, if a paternity dispute arises, the court may order a DNA test. Refusal to take the test could be interpreted by the court as an indication of parentage.

Our experienced team takes the time to listen to your needs and concerns, providing tailored legal support that makes you feel understood and cared for. Helping you navigate the legal complexities, we help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
