Paternity

Strong Representation in Paternity Laws

Representing Mothers and Fathers in Johnson County, Kansas

When children are born outside of marriage, parents have the same rights to custody and parenting time, and the same obligations for financial support of the child, as if they were married.

My practice, Jean W. Wise, Attorney at Law, is located in Overland Park, Kansas. I practice all aspects of family law, including paternity law, serving clients in Johnson County, Kansas (the Kansas City metro area).

Paternity Claims
Paternity cases have become a prominent part of family law with the increasing number of children born out of wedlock. Mediation often works well. It helps the parents establish a basis for making joint decisions and effectively co-parenting their child.

• Fathers' rights: I represent men who seek paternity testing to assert their rights to parenting time or custody, as well as men who wish to challenge a paternity claim to prove they are not the father.
• Mother's rights: My practice includes representing women in establishing paternity to obtain an order for child support, as well as legal actions to collect arrearages or garnish a father's wages.

Contact a Johnson County family law attorney who is well versed in Kansas paternity laws. I am compassionate and diligent, and tough-minded in court when mediation or negotiation does not produce the desired result. I offer flexible appointments and accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
