Paternity — the legal state of being someone’s biological father — is sometimes not as it seems in parent-child relationships. Rather than a mother or presumed father (or both) questioning the identity of a child’s true father, he or she should allow the Delaware court system to determine paternity.
The Law Office of Thomas D. Shellenberger is skilled and experienced at representing both mothers and fathers in paternity cases.
Thomas D. Shellengberger assists mothers with determining legal paternity in order to receive child support, public assistance, employment benefits, and medical histories on behalf of their children.
Thomas D. Shellenberger also represents presumed fathers in paternity fraud cases or in cases where the presumed father does not believe he is a child’s father. Since legal acknowledgement of paternity typically last for life (even if it is later determined a man is not a child’s biological father), presumed fathers should engage a paternity lawyer to represent them in paternity cases. Thomas D. Shellenberger has successfully contested child paternity in Delaware Family Court on behalf of clients.
