Paternity law is important to us at Burton Law Firm. Establishing and protecting paternity rights is an essential part of family law. We will do everything in our ability to help you and your loved ones through this complicated time.
When it comes to becoming a parent, the situations that surround men and women are drastically different and determining the identity of a child’s father is not always easy. In some cases, men deny allegations of fathering a child. On the other hand, there are cases where men are denied as being the father by the biological mother. Either way, the situation is stressful.
Because of the overall complexity surrounding paternal issues, not all men respond in a uniform fashion to being identified, or denied, as the father. Some men would dispute the allegations, while others would strongly assert their parental rights when denied fatherhood.
Whether or not a man is adjudicated as a father can have life-altering impacts on not only the man but also the mother and the child at issue. If a man is determined to be the biological father of a child, he has rights with that child that may need to be enforced, i.e. child support, parent-time, custody, decision making, etc. These issues can become complicated, especially when taking the best interests of a child into account. Such important matters should be handled only under the skilled guidance of legal professionals. We at Burton Family Attorneys offer the skill and experience you need to help with your paternity issue; whether you are a father fighting for his rights or a mother protecting a child’s best interests.

Simply stated, mediation is a non-binding forum for a divorcing couple to work out the terms of their divorce with the help of a trained mediation specialist. The only requirement of mediation is that a party attend and make a good faith effort at resolution.
We recommend attending mediation with the help of a legal professional. Mediators are neutral parties who cannot give legal advice. Mediation will involve the discussion relating to all your divorce issues including real estate and personal property issues, division of financial assets (401k, stocks, bonds, etc.)

When a family member, friend or loved one passes away, his or her estate may have to go through a court process referred to as probate. This is the process whereby the Court appoints an individual, or sometimes multiple individuals, to gather, manage, and ultimately distribute the assets of the one who passed away.
There is no set formula to determine when, or if, a party should receive alimony (spousal support) from a divorcing spouse. In determining alimony the courts will consider the needs of the party requesting alimony, the ability of that party to provide for his or her own needs, and the ability of the other divorcing party to pay alimony.
