Why Paternity Matters in New York Family Law

Paternity establishment is the foundation for numerous legal rights and responsibilities. It can determine:

  • A father’s right to custody or visitation

  • A child’s right to financial support, medical benefits, and inheritance

  • A mother’s ability to seek child support

  • Access to family medical history and other important information

Our attorneys help ensure that your legal rights—and your child’s best interests—are protected throughout every phase of the process.

Legal Pathways to Establishing Paternity

In New York, paternity can be established through:

  • Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP): Signed by both parents at birth or later

  • Genetic (DNA) Testing: Court-ordered testing if paternity is contested

  • Family Court Petition: Legal proceedings to establish or disprove paternity

At Batarseh Pammer PLLC, we walk you through the appropriate steps for your situation, explain your legal options in plain terms, and prepare you for what to expect at every stage.

Asserting Parental Rights or Seeking Support

Once paternity is confirmed, our team can assist in taking the next legal steps:

  • Fathers may petition for custody, visitation, or joint decision-making authority

  • Mothers may seek child support orders to ensure financial support for the child

  • Parents may negotiate parenting plans that reflect the child’s needs and support a meaningful relationship with both parties

We work to ensure that any resulting custody or support arrangement is fair, enforceable, and tailored to your family’s unique circumstances.
