In a complex paternity dispute, Attorney Matt Zimmerman once again demonstrated the significance of experienced legal representation. The case began when our Client, who had separated from his wife after only six months of marriage, was informed that she was pregnant. Despite his efforts to manage the divorce process using an online service, the Client faced a significant legal hurdle when he learned that another man was listed as the father on the child’s birth certificate.
Key Details
The Client contacted Mr. Zimmerman with concerns about the child’s paternity, as Texas law presumes the father listed on the birth certificate to be the biological father, making it a challenging situation to dispute outside of court.
Legal Strategy
Attorney Zimmerman swiftly requested a DNA test to accurately determine paternity. This strategic move eliminated the need for a formal hearing, saving both time and money for all parties involved.
DNA Results: The results confirmed the Client was indeed the child’s biological father, allowing Attorney Zimmerman to take the necessary steps to amend the birth certificate.
Positive Outcome
Once paternity was established, Mr. Zimmerman efficiently negotiated visitation rights consistent with the child’s age. Understanding the preferences of the presiding judge, Mr. Zimmerman successfully resolved the matter without requiring a hearing, by submitting the appropriate paperwork electronically to the Court. This streamlined approach further saved the client’s legal and financial resources.
Impact
Legal Recognition- The client’s parental rights are now legally recognized and protected.
Financial Savings- The efficient handling of the case conserved the client’s financial resources.
Family Stability- The client can now establish a meaningful relationship with his child under the protection of the law, fostering a stable family environment.
