Experienced Wheaton Paternity and Parentage Attorneys

Family Law Firm Serving DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties
Establishing paternity for a child born out of wedlock can be a challenging process. Often, these cases involve intense emotions, and they can have significant financial ramifications. At Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, we represent both mothers and fathers in parentage actions. Our attorneys understand paternity and parentage cases from both sides, and we offer clients effective and compassionate representation to serve their needs and the best interests of their children.
Assisting Clients with Parentage-Related Matters
The first step in most parentage cases is determining paternity. This can be done either through DNA testing or through the voluntary acknowledgement of both parents. In cases of contested paternity, a court order may be necessary to compel DNA testing. Our attorneys are experienced in handling both contested and uncontested paternity cases.
Once paternity or parentage is positively established, additional legal matters must be settled. These include many of the same issues spouses have to determine when getting a divorce. Our family law attorneys assist clients in:
- Obtaining child support
- Establishing custody rights and parental responsibilities
- Negotiating visitation and parenting time agreements
- Enforcing child support and parenting/custody agreements
- Modifying child support and parenting/custody agreements
Contact Our DuPage County Paternity Lawyers
At Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, we believe an amicable resolution is in the best interest of all parties involved in paternity cases. Negotiating paternity-related matters outside of court is more affordable and less contentious for both parties, and it typically results in a healthier co-parenting relationship. We recognize that in some cases, however, an amicable resolution is not possible. When necessary, our attorneys are prepared to aggressively represent our clients' interests and the interests of their children in court.
