Law firms ranked by client reviews
Declarations of Parentage cover the factual question of who is a child’s parent, and can provide a formal judicial finding of parentage for a child where it is disputed or uncertain. In England, a solicitor helps clients obtain a court declaration that establishes parentage for a child, enabling rights to contact, inheritance or the child’s welfare arrangements to be settled on a clear footing.
Where a solicitor protects your position
A declaration of parentage formalises who the legal parent is, which affects parental rights and responsibilities, names on the child’s birth record, and duties such as maintenance. A solicitor prepares and presents the application, gathers evidence (including DNA if needed), coordinates with the child’s other parent or guardians, and represents the client in proceedings before the Family Court or High Court so the court can determine parentage.
