ADOPTION & DEPENDENCY ACTIONS
Collaborative law is a relatively new method of dispute resolution that keeps parents co-parenting into the future for their children. The concept is an alternative to traditional litigation, allowing families an opportunity to discuss and solve their problems with the help of attorneys and neutral professionals, such as a financial expert or mental health counselor. Through a series of meetings, the professionals guide the parties to a resolution that they design for themselves. Co-parenting is possible with amicable resolution.

Paternity is established for two reasons: first, a parent who needs support for a child or second, a parent who pays support wants to establish his or her time sharing with the other parent.
A father who does not believe he is the biological father to a child may disestablish paternity and avoid child support. Time is critical to preservation of the right to disestablish once there are facts known to do so or a paternity test is done.
