Arizona Paternity Attorneys for Payson Arizona

Arizona Paternity Attorneys Serving Payson Arizona

Establishing paternity is a vital step for parents and children alike. It provides a foundation for essential rights, responsibilities, and benefits – from legal custody and parenting time to financial support and inheritance rights for the child. However, achieving this can feel overwhelming due to the legal complexities involved.

If you’re a Payson Arizona resident facing the task of establishing paternity, you don’t have to go through it alone. The experienced Arizona paternity attorneys at Hildebrand Law, PC are here to guide you through the process with professionalism and care.

Understanding Paternity in Arizona

Establishing paternity legally identifies the father of a child. Without this, many important legal rights and responsibilities remain undefined. A father may not have the ability to request parenting time or decision-making authority, and the child may miss out on important benefits, like child support and inheritance rights, if paternity is not established.

For unmarried parents, paternity isn’t automatically established at birth, which means taking legal steps to formalize the father-child relationship. This often involves filing a petition to establish paternity and navigating Arizona’s paternity laws through the court system.

Challenges in Establishing Paternity

Legal processes can be daunting, especially for someone without experience in family law. Here are a couple of common challenges Payson Arizona residents may encounter when establishing paternity:

• Filing the Petition: The first step, filing a petition to establish paternity, may provide the first hurdle to establishing paternity in Arizona. Arizona statutes require certain information be included in the petition to establish paternity, so it is important you understand those requirements and include the required information in your petition to establish paternity.
• Navigating the Court Process: After filing, parents will need to follow the court’s process of handling the case, potentially work with a genetic testing facility, and resolve any disagreements over paternity. All of this can become stressful and overwhelming without an experienced Arizona paternity attorney by your side.

I am very glad I chose Kent Millward and Hildebrand Law to represent me in my divorce. There was some complexity with my case and Kent took the time to understand the situation thoroughly and apply his knowledge of the law to put me in a situation in which I could negotiate a fair settlement. Throughout the process, I was given accurate information about what I should expect and what the viable options were. Kent did a great job of being firm in negotiations and in arguments before the court while also leaving the door open for an eventual settlement. All my interactions with the firm were very positive and I could not have asked for anything more.I was also represented by Carlos Noel at the firm for estate issues and then some follow-up on my divorce to remove spousal support. Carlos was great, communicated clearly and accurately, and kept fees to a minimum.I would highly recommend the firm to anyone needing representation in such matters.

I had a complex divorce and custody case that few law firms were willing to take because I work overseas. Carlos Noel and Hildebrand took my case and helped me strategize. While they are not cheap, it's worth every penny. They were responsive and thorough and open to feedback/input. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for experts to help navigate this very confusing and complicated terrain. Thank you Carlos and team for helping me close this chapter of my life with tact and professionalism in less than 1 year!

I was in a very difficult situation involving divorcing my then husband and fighting for the well-being of my daughter. I discovered Hildebrand and met with Lonnie Sheinson. The first meeting I had with him, I felt at ease and confident that he and the team would fight for me. Lonnie is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and really went to war for me. We ended up winning our trial and I believe it was because of Lonnie's attention to detail and willingness to help that won it for us. I've now moved away from Arizona and Lonnie still will take the time to answer my calls if I have any questions. He's been so helpful and I'm so grateful for Lonnie and his team! If you need a fantastic divorce/ family attorney, Lonnie is the best!
