Does Paternity Matter?
In a situation where a man has acted as a child's father for a significant period of time, has supported that child, has been there for them and is for all intents and purposes considered to be that child's father — then no, legal paternity does not matter much. In every other situation in New Jersey, paternity matters a great deal.
At the Law Office of David T. O'Sullivan, LLC, our knowledge of New Jersey's paternity laws and our experience handling these issues in Morris County and throughout northern New Jersey are real assets to have working for you in any paternity case. We are also sensitive to the fact that paternity cases can involve very delicate and personal issues. We are respectful of that and handle all matters with utmost discretion.

Establishing Paternity
With the advent of DNA testing, establishing whether or not someone is the biological father of a child has become a relatively easy, fast and painless task to accomplish. It does not cost a great deal either.
Representing Mothers and Fathers Alike
Our lawyers represent mothers who want to establish a man's paternity to obtain child support. They also represent fathers who want to establish paternity and, by extension, their parental rights to have a meaningful relationship with their children.
