Paternity disputes can be complex and emotionally charged, affecting not only parents but entire families. At Graham & Rosen, our experienced family law team is here to guide you through the paternity process with care and understanding. Whether you’re a mother seeking to establish legal parentage or a father defending against a paternity claim, we are dedicated to protecting your rights while prioritising the best interests of the child.
Our expert family law solicitors provide legal advice and support in a full range of paternity matters, including:
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.
At Graham & Rosen, we know that every paternity case is deeply personal. 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.
