Paternity

The attorneys of The Law Practice of Jackie Kong handle paternity cases initiated by either the mother or father of the child. Paternity lawsuits often arise from disagreements about custody arrangements and/or financial obligations.

When custody is at issue, our attorneys work with you to reach acceptable agreements about physical custody (where the child will live), legal custody (who will make the decisions), and visitation rights.

We also help parents settle on workable financial provisions for the child. This may include: payment of child support; private school costs; maintenance of health insurance and life insurance for the child’s benefit; payment of at least 50% of the child’s uncovered ordinary and extraordinary health care expenses; and coverage of the child’s extracurricular activities expenses.

If your circumstances change and you need to adjust a paternity agreement, our attorneys work with you to modify your settlement or decree. Whether you are experiencing a sudden change in lifestyle, work prospects, or  financial status,  we can assist you with modifications to child support, child custody, visitation, and financial arrangements.
