Navigating Paternity Issues In Michigan

When married parents have a child, the husband is presumed to be the father. When the parents are not married, however, paternity must be established by court order.

Paternity issues affect mother, father and child in numerous and significant ways. If you are seeking representation for a paternity-related matter in Michigan, the experienced attorneys at Eisenberg & Spilman, PLLC, can provide you with the guidance and advocacy you need. We are a trusted source of family law representation for clients in Birmingham and throughout the surrounding region.

What Is Best For The Child?

In any issue that involves children, our guiding principle is protecting the best interests of the child.
