Kane & Kendall County Paternity Attorney

Paternity Actions

When an unmarried couple has a child together, it is of utmost importance that the best interests of the child are preserved and each parent’s rights protected. Illini Legal Services, we help unmarried couples share child rearing responsibilities by filing paternity actions to officially establish parentage.

A legal declaration of fatherhood allows child support and custody and visitation rights to be established. It creates a legal relationship between a parent and a child, allowing each parent to exercise their parental rights.

Illini Legal Services represents individuals in paternity actions throughout Northern Illinois. We use our comprehensive knowledge of the Paternity Act to assert the rights of either parent in situations where parentage is questioned. We will work with the Attorney General’s office to arrange paternity and DNA testing. Once paternity is ascertained, we help unmarried couples determine child custody rights and establish a child support plan.

Experienced Illinois Paternity Attorney

We represent both sides of a paternity dispute. Often times the potential father will initiate a paternity action to either assert his parental rights or question his role in fathering the child. A paternity lawyer at our firm, with over 30 years of law practice and trial experience will counsel you on your rights. We recognize the importance of establishing paternity, not only for the parents, but for the child.
