Columbia Paternity Lawyers

Formal determinations of paternity can help mothers secure the support they need. Fathers who are shown to be biologically linked to a child can pursue the custody and visitation they deserve. At the law office of Clay, Kline & Young, LLC, our family law practice includes paternity cases where the science of DNA testing combines with legal complexities and emotional elements.

If you need help proving a biological link to a child you believe is your son or daughter, take immediate action and contact us at 573-355-5247 or toll free at 888-366-5186.

Columbia Paternity Attorneys

When the parents of a child are unmarried, a paternity action must be filed in order to establish legal custody, visitation and child support. Paternity actions arise in many ways: an alleged father may want to spend time with his child; the father may be the primary custodian of the child and needs financial support from the mother; or a biological mother may need to establish a visitation schedule or needs child support.

At the law office of Clay, Kline & Young, LLC, our lawyers get to the facts of paternity. The Missouri child support calculator helps us determine the amount of child support required to meet the child's needs. We calculate income, expenses and other factors and put them in the statutory formula. Self-employed or business-owning parents may present a challenge. However, we will attend to every detail in determining proper support amounts.

A father entitled to visitation with his biological child should never handle a parenting time agreement on his own. We understand the financial challenges that all of our clients face and do everything we can to come up with a reasonable payment arrangement. A future relationship with a child is at stake.
