Establishing Parental Rights & Responsibilities

Fathers are important to all children for practical and emotional reasons. Through a paternity action, the court gives the biological father the rights and duties of a parent.

These rights and responsibilities may include:

  • Child custody
  • Visitation rights
  • Financial support
  • Healthcare
  • Education

When representing clients in paternity actions, we bring our clients a positive, helpful, and energetic approach that they appreciate. We help clients during a difficult time and guide them through the complex legal system to make things a little easier for them.

Navigating Paternity Disputes with Expertise in Green Cove Springs

When both parties can reach an agreement about the father’s rights and obligations, we can draft a detailed paternity order and parenting plan. We do everything we can to ensure the process is as efficient as possible for our clients.

When the parents are unable to come to an agreement, we can seek assistance from the court in a paternity court action. We encourage our clients to try to resolve differences through negotiation and mediation, and the court requires mediation prior to intervening. A trial is a last resort, but we offer aggressive representation when needed while remaining sensitive to unique issues that influence how each case is handled.

  • “I would highly recommend Haslett Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.”
    I was referred to Betsy Haslett by an attorney at a large Jacksonville business. I live in North Carolina and desperately need legal help with two separate family emergencies in Florida. Betsy helped me understand all of the steps of the actions we needed to take. She was always available to me as I navigated crisis after crisis. My family emergencies have been resolved thanks to Betsy’s attention to detail and we continue to address additional issues as they arise. I am grateful for her legal expertise and her support during an extremely difficult and emotional time. I would highly recommend Haslett Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.

  • “Our lives would not be as blessed as they are today.”
    JR went above and beyond to see our case through. Even after our family member botched up the initial deal that had been struck, he stepped in when he didn’t have to and re negotiated another opportunity. JR took a sincere interest in our family and were it not for his extra effort our lives would not be as blessed as they are today. He told us at the beginning that he would follow the case through to it end and that’s exactly what he did and then some.
