Paternity Disputes

Uncertainty regarding the paternity of a child may give rise to a number of legal issues, perhaps most commonly in relation to the payment of child support

Cost implications can ensue where a parent fails to apply for child support, or conversely, fails to pay child support as would have otherwise been assessed as due, were paternity proved.

Where paternity is disputed, specific legal processes are required before a “declaration of paternity” can be obtained, or conversely, paternity can be formally disproved.
