Paternity

Welcome to the blog! I’m Aaron Grubb, the [Tahlequah paternity attorney](https://www.tahlequahattorney.com/cherokee-county-paternity-attorney/) at Wirth Law Office. In my latest video, I discuss the presumption of paternity, a concept where the court assumes a male parent is legally recognized as the father. This presumption can occur in several scenarios, such as when a child is born during a marriage, or within 300 days following a marriage’s termination. There are also specific legal assertions about paternity that can solidify this presumption. If you have questions about paternity, feel free to reach out!

Are you navigating a paternity action and facing a judge’s order for genetic testing? Understanding this process is crucial. I’m Aaron Grubb, a Tahlequah paternity attorney at Wirth Law Office. Genetic testing often arises in cases where a father isn’t on the birth certificate or hasn’t been involved in the child’s life. Typically, the testing involves a simple cheek swab to collect DNA, which is sent to a lab for analysis. Costs can range from $300 to $500. A positive result can establish a rebuttable presumption of paternity, but there are ways to challenge it. Contact us for guidance.

Tahlequah attorney Ryan Cannonie explains a paternity action and some considerations for those thinking of filing one. One thing that comes up quite a lot actually is paternity actions. Now, when I say paternity actions, this is a situation, let’s say you’re a father, you have children, but you weren’t ever put on the birth certificate. You have never had DNA done. You and the children’s mother were never married and just their kids were born and you’ve always kind of been in the picture. You maybe don’t live together, so they visit with you sometimes. They visit with her sometimes, and that’s kind of the situation you’re in. So if you find yourself in a situation like most of the time when people come in, it’s not because things are going well. No one goes to the court system because things are going well. But a lot of times what happens is over the years, there’s disagreements, there’s re-marriages, there’s other situations, maybe possibly moving. And what happens is visitation is stopped. So you are no longer allowed to see your children because their mother just won’t let you around them. Well, when you go to try to get an order from the court to let you see your children, you’re going to run into one big problem. It’s that you’re going to have to prove you’re their father.
