Establishing Paternity of a Child
Before child support and child visitation arrangements can be made for a child born outside of a marriage, paternity must be established. This process can be as simple as signing the proper paperwork. It can also become extremely complex if paternity is disputed.
At the law firm of Richard A. Heller, P.A., we have the experience to get results in paternity actions. Our lawyers have been handling these issues for people in Orlando and throughout Central Florida since 1990. You can be confident that our knowledge and our skill can benefit you.
Paternity Actions for Mothers
If you are the mother of a child born out of wedlock, you may wish to establish paternity in order to obtain child support from the father. You may be concerned about the extent to which the father will have to be involved in the child's life.

Our attorneys are here to learn about your goals. We will help you determine the path that is most appropriate to see that those goals are met.
