Paternity Lawyer in Clinton Township

Representing men and women in Michigan paternity matters

Determining paternity is frequently the key to ensuring proper child custody and child support orders are created if there is any question about the parentage of a child. It is essential that paternity be determined in order to preserve your right to see your child or gain the amount of child support that provides for your child's needs.

With over 30 years of experience, attorney Robert J. Hribar can provide clients with knowledgeable advice for their family law issues. I handle paternity issues for clients located throughout Clinton Township, Macomb County, the Detroit area, and surrounding communities. Though I have extensive experience handling cases that specifically involve and protect fathers' rights, I represent both men and women in a range of paternity situations.

• With the emergence of new technology for establishing paternity, it is easier than ever to determine paternity. A simple swab from the inside of your cheek can be the key to gaining access to your child. To help alleviate your fears, I can take the time to explain the DNA paternity testing process and help you request that a test be performed.
• Once the child's parentage has been established, the related custody and child support matters can be addressed. If paternity is not determined, any custody and/or child support arrangements that were made outside of the court are not legally enforceable.
• In a marriage, there is no determination of paternity necessary. A husband is assumed to be the father of a child born of the marriage. However, if there is a divorce filing and the paternity comes into question, it is important that a DNA test be done in order for the man to retain his rights to the child or children.
