Today is #DNAday; a unique day to learn more about genetics and genomics. 🧬 In parentage cases, also called “paternity cases,” the court makes orders that say who the child’s legal parents are. Did you know, if there is not an agreement on paternity of a child, the Court can order a #DNA test to determine the father. After paternity is established, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time and child support can then be set forth via a Final Allocation of Parental Responsibilities Judgment. Learn more and see how we can help here today: https://lnkd.in/eC73N7vg #paternitytest #paternity #parentalresponsibilities #childsupport #parentingtime #familylawattorney #paternitylawyer
Effective as of January 1st 2022, attorneys can now petition for #temporaryrelocation and/or file relocation notices on a temporary basis without fear that the Court will deny it simply because the Judgment has not yet entered. It is also important to note that while the new section indicates that the relocation “shall not prejudice either parent in the allocation of parental responsibilities”, this doesn’t solely refer to decision-making allocations. If you would like to learn more about your #relocationrights as a parent, contact the experienced family law attorneys at Masters Law Group.
