Paternity/Parentage
Paternity Lawyer in Orland Park, IL
When a child's parents are not married, paternity testing may be administered to determine the biological father of a child. Once paternity is established, the father's rights and obligations are determined. He will then be obligated to financially provide for the child. He can also pursue visitation and child custody rights.
If you are interested in learning more about the importance of establishing the paternity (or parentage) of a child, contact an Orland Park paternity attorney from the law office of Carr, O'Rourke & Ernst. A child should have the benefit of having both parents in his or her life. Talk to our attorney to learn how he can help you.
Unmarried Parents
The fact that the parents of a child are not married does not mean that the father does not have an obligation to financially support the child. Nor does it mean that the father does not have the right to see the child. However, it is first necessary to legally establish the identity of a child's father.
Paternity testing may be needed in order to determine that the alleged father of the child is the actual father of the child. If you are interested in learning more about paternity testing — whether you are looking to prove the identity of the father of your child or whether you may be required to take one — talk to Orland Park, Illinois, lawyer Roland P. Ernst. He can help you learn about your rights and options if:
- You are a mother seeking child support payments from your child's father
- You are a father looking to enforce your visitation rights or seek child custody
- You are a father looking to ensure that the amount you are required to pay is fair

Roland Ernst is an outstanding divorce attorney!!! Its a difficult time in one's life, your worried about your kids, your life ahead, etc.. He was a calming influence through it all. In my divorce, his advice save me so many times that I can't count them. He knows the law! His knowledge and guidance were key for me in "not rocking the boat" and getting through the whole messy process. You will be truly blessed when you retain Roland to represent you in court. There is no one better to have by your side when your in front of the judge.- david ma. 5/7/2017
