The practice of family law can also benefit families who are not joined by marriage.
Paternity issues can take a number of surprising turns, for example — some ugly, some inspiring.
Ugly: when a child’s birth mother does not want to be found by a biological father who wants to be closer to his child.
Inspiring: when a father seeks paternity testing to increase access to his child, and establish parental rights of custody and visitation, and is prepared to pay regular child support in order to accomplish that goal.
Birth mothers can also seek out a co-parent to demand paternity testing, in order to receive financial support.
Whatever the course that a paternity issue can take, the ideal situation is one in which both parents share a prominent role in a child’s upbringing, sharing decisions on time spent with each, plus education, religion and so on.
