Paternity issues cover whether a man is the legal father of a child and the resulting rights and duties, including parental responsibility, maintenance, and the child’s surname. A solicitor in this area handles applications to establish or dispute parentage, prepares and serves claim or defense packs, gathers DNA evidence, and advises on welfare, contact, and residency disputes. They represent clients in private family proceedings in the courts and may negotiate agreed orders to secure or challenge parental rights.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

The solicitor ensures correct handling of sensitive data, compliance with court rules, and proper use of evidence such as DNA tests, while safeguarding client confidentiality and professional standards. They operate under the Solicitors Regulation Authority code and use professional indemnity protections and client account rules to manage funds and paperwork across the case lifecycle.
