Paternity and Child Support

A man who is determined by law to be the father of a child can be held responsible for child support. This includes past child support as well as future child support payments.

Carolyn Moller Duncan, P.C. represents both men and women in these matters. We will work to achieve your goals and protect your interests.

Paternity, Child Custody Visitation

Colorado law draws a distinction between biological fatherhood and legal fatherhood. In all custody and visitation matters, courts hold one principal paramount over all of the rest — what it determines to be the "best interest of the child".

In deciding whether to grant visitation rights to a biological father, the Court will usually give some weight to the prior relationship of the father and the child. The fact that a man has not previously had a relationship with a child is not necessarily a barrier to obtaining father's rights, though it may make it more difficult.

Carolyn Moller Duncan, P.C. represents men and women in these matters. We can explain the paternity testing process, and discuss the strength of your case.

When we represent you, we will work to develop a persuasive case on your behalf — designed to protect your rights and achieve your goals.
